Nice pictures, but boy am I confused. In one photo there looks like there
are two fuel lines passing just to the left (pilot's side) of the elevator
push tube between stations 2 and 3, apparently on the way to the firewall,
but they aren't there at all in another photo. One of the two lines must
not be fuel since only one fuel line would go from the Andair selector to
the engine. Also, I have trial fitted my Andair selector in the same place
that yours is and there is no way that there is room for mine to fit above
the elevator push tube with it recessed in a cup like yours, due to the
selector outlet being on the bottom. Even without recessing it there is not
room for the fitting on the bottom of the selector. How did you do it?
The only place that looks like it would work for me is between stations 2
and 3 on the left hand side, which would probably put the selector between
my legs. This would probably put the plane in a dive every time I went to
switch tanks since my head would probably hit the stick. I'd like to put it
right in the middle between stations 2 and 3 but I would have to raise it up
a bit above the floor level to do this. This presents a problem with the
inlets to the selector since they have to be below the floor level.
Again, what's the secret to your location with the elevator push tube and
rudder cables in the way? Can you take another photo of that area?
Lastly, are you using any electric boost pumps? I'm still thinking of at
least one electric pump. Perhaps even two, one on each side just after the
belly drains below the rear door posts. I have already run my fuel lines
inside the door posts and that worked great. I was thinking of getting a
split master/alternator switch and using it for the pumps. Then I could
easily select both pumps or either one independently. Probably overkill.
The Facet pump that Aircraft Spruce sells looks like the one I want. Anyone
know if the Facet pumps flow OK when not running? I have heard that they
do.
Thanks,

OK. I've posted a few pictures of my fuel system installation around the
Andair selector. Find them in the archives under : Super Rebel Systems.
Let me know if anyone's interested in seeing a specific area closer or from
a better angle.

Do not archive
Fred,
Please post some pictures of the fuel selector and lines. They are always
worth a thousand words.
