Hi Mike !
I'm surprised you did that, with all the comments in the archive
that it is not a good idea ! That approach has been tried several
times, right back to the early 90's-You will definitely have problems -
my lines also run forward, and no fuel would flow on climb or low
fuel situations if it weren't for the ram air tubes on top of the
fuel caps. I really don't like these, for many reasons, and would
not suggest this route --- but it was the only solution at the time.
(I didn't build this Rebel ...)
You have another option - just run a line down behind the door
and along the side, on top of the inside wraps. You can cover it with
a Lexan 'witches hat' you can bend up, for protection. This will
give good flow, avoid problems, and be easily accessible for
replacement, if ever needed. Several builders have done this,
rather than running lines under the floor, where they can't be
inspected.

Hi all,
I recently read a comment by Wayne about cheating and running the fuel lines
above the door and down the forward door post. This is what I did and I
really like the way it came out. Has any one had any experience with this not
working out well in a gravity system?
Thanks,
