Fuel Lines

The past few days, we've been running 3/8" aluminum fuel line from the header tank to the front of the fuselage.  The hardest part was finding points on the fuselage to install adel clamps for mounting.  The first line to be run was the fuel return line.  The fuel return line runs from the firewall directly to the header tank. The fuel line runs through a notch in the floor panel, turns 90 degrees and then runs down the middle of the fuselage.  

The next line to run was the fuel supply line.  The fuel supply line will run from the header tank to the fuel selector valve.  Like the return line, the supply line runs through the notch in the floor panel, turns 90 degrees and runs down the middle of the fuselage.  The supply run still needs it's installation completed.  Hours: 3
