9.7.1 Fuel vent lines

This entry is part 3 of 18 in the series 09 - Fuel System

The strake fuel tank vent lines that connect to the cross were run a couple days ago. I’m still waiting for one fitting for the fuel return line. But the main vent line can still be run.

This line is a real piece of work. From the cross, up to the roof, then a turn forward to a U-turn. Back to the firewall and down. Then a jog to the co-pilot side and down again. Bump out to clear the spar and back a little to fit in a groove in the sump and out the bottom of the fuselage.

This is the result after a couple hours of bending.

And installed.
