More Fuel Lines

DSC05089

I started working on the fuel T’s that come down from the wing.  Like I mentioned before, all fuel lines should move downhill.  This is not only to promote smooth fuel flow, but also to make sure there are no low areas to trap water that may freeze later.

Bob recommends putting the T in this position as low as possible.  This helps it maintain a down hill slope along the lower door frame.  However, I just couldn’t live with the T going through the door frame bulkhead at the angle of that door frame.  So I carefully bent the lower frame to match the angle of the fuel line coming down the lower door frame.

This allows for a constant downhill flow with no low points.  Mission accomplished!
