Brief Description:  Run right fuel line into selector valve

There are two choices how to flare the fuel tank end of the line from the selector valve. Take off the tank, or take out the two extremely tight rubber grommets in the 1 inch hole through the fuselage and try to be careful not messing up the flare while you corkscrew the line into place in front and behind the landing gear mount. I took the tank off. Dozens of screws but it only took 10 minutes. The flare was made and I remounted the tank. Everything went as expected for a change. I used my Dewalt battery drill to install the screws. You do NOT want full torque (mine goes to #11) as that will strip or damage the phillips heads so when you ever remove the tank, you will be drilling out bad heads. Used #5 torque setting and it snugged the screws up perfect and never jumped. Let the jumping happen in the drill clutch, not the screw heads.
