I would like to ask how you guys routed your fuel line from fuse to wing tank.
While browsing other builders logs I saw two common solutions:
1. Aluminum fuel line goes from fuse through the rubber bushing, bends 90 and 90 outside and basically connects to fuel tank. This is how plans call it.
2. Another way is to install 90 degrees AN fitting in the fuselage hole and then use similar 90 deg bend line outside to connect to tank.
See my picture.
Question: will (2) be safe method in terms of all vibrations etc ? I understand that wing will vibrate and rubber bushing technically compensate all that while 90 deg AN fitting allows no flex thus may cause micro cracks ?
What do you think ?
Thank you!
