Brief Description: Wire Aux Fuel Pumps

"This is something I've worked on off and on over the last month or more. I've spent some time going though the ""Aeroelectric Connection"" book to figure out what electrical system to use. I need to establish a plan so I can figure out what gauge wire to run. I've decided on the Z-13/8 system. I ran the wire for the aux fuel pumps through the conduit then down the rib in the bay that the pump is in. I'm using Molex connectors and 16 gauge wire to the aux pumps. 16 gauge is overkill but I feel better with it (I'd rather over-do than under-do). Since this is new to me I spent a lot of time practicing installing pins and connectors. It's actually pretty easy once I figured out how to do it."
