Hi All,
I'm wiring up my -6A and have reached the point where I'm bringing wires through the spar. I'm at a bit of a loss, however, as I cannot maintain the 1/2" clearance from fuel lines mandated by AC43.13 where the lines emerge from the front of the spar - no matter how I would route it, I still have wires coming closer to 1/2" of the fuel lines associated with the fuel injection boost pump & filter.
I do have the wires contained in the 3/4" flex conduit Van's sells and can secure it so there is no movement - would that be sufficient? My guess is that it would - there would be no way for a short to arc to one of the fuel lines, for example, and the wire cannot chafe on the fuel lines. I'm not an expert, however, so I'm hoping to solicit some input from those who are![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks!
