Still working on the fuel plumbing. First I found a solution to the interference problem that was still bothering me. In fact I need an angled fitting on the gascolator, so I took one of the fuel valve and installed on the fuel valve a straight fitting with an angled AN fitting. This will allow me to rotate the AN fitting so as to avoid the interfering line.
Here a picture of the AN fitting on the fuel valve.
And a picture of the fuel valve and fuel pump.
This is the fuel line coming from the pump entering the firewall at the gascolator's position.
I didn't work on the fuselage passthroughs, because I will refabricate all the fuel and brake lines. The trial and error approach that I needed here means the lines got worked on quite a lot, and aluminium tends to harden and break. The price tag is not very high (25$ for all the lines).
Working time on this subpart
Today : 2h (Total : 137h)
