Fuel Lines - Rebel

[Wayne G. O'Shea]

Fwd to the list as I didn't realize at the time I was just answering Rick.
The fuel line routing may be of help to a lot of builders coming up on this
stage. Just watch your clearance around the torque tube horns, that are
bolted together, between the wing and fuselage!

I hear ya Rick! For those that are not using the fuel site gauges as MAM
spells out, but instead are going with senders in the tanks. An easier

route

to run the fuel lines is to put a 90* fitting on the tank outlet and then
take the 3/8" aluminum line back to behind bulkhead "F" and then in

through

the Fus-24 and down behind the "F" bulkhead, into the floor and drain.

This

way you don't have to go through the double rear wing attach bulkhead area
and the whole thing will be hidden by the root fairing. Thinking about it
some more, actually, now that the site gauge is supposed to be totally
isolated from the outlet fitting (as it will suck air down that site tube
and into your fuel line if you hook the site gauge to it as shown in the

old

manuals) there is no reason that everyone using the cabin site tubes can't
run the fuel line this way now either!

Wayne,
Thanks for the reply. I will add the angle over the slot. The hole is

3/4

because I am using a prefabricated aluminum tube and the tubing nut
needs a 3/4 hole for it to pass through.
