OK folks, I've been worried about this part of the build since I got my empennage kit - The Firewall Forward Fuel System.
First let me say that the plans call for VA-129 to be run from the gasocolator to the fuel pump. I found this hose to be too long, so I used VA-139 instead which is shorter. Using VA-129 from the fuel pump to the carb seemed to be a good length.
Please tell me if this looks right mostly because I have some fittings that I can't identify (for example KB-000), and want to be sure I'm using the right ones:
Gascolator to fuel pump
Fuel pump to carb and fuel pressure line
To carb
Of course I still have the various plugs to install.
Thanks!
