I have not yet mounted the fuel pickup assembly in the T408 inspection plate, or run fuel lines in the fuse. I've also decided against flop tubes.
I understand that the RV-10 has gone to a straight through finger screen pick up fitting that goes through the tank at the rear corner. This would remove any concerns or requirements for anti rotation plates. The unit would be tightened in place externally. This is similar to what is on many certified aircraft. It would be much lighter and you could remove it at annual without removing any the large inspection plate. The service bullitin about safety wiring the AN818 nut would also no longer apply.
I'm considering installing these parts, or something like them in my RV-6. it seems that it would be lighter, easier to service and less risk.
Anything I'm missing here? Anbody else done this in a two seat RV?
Advice appreciated!
