I am installing a Andair gascolator in each wing root of my RV-7, similar to this picture from Andair :
But I have not fitted the wings yet, and I'd like to ask how much space there is between the side of the fuselage and the fuel tank in the wing root?
Here are 2 pictures to give you an idea of my setup:
Side view:
Top view:
This setup takes 2.7 Inches measured from the fuselage side to the outmost point of the gascolator as seen on the above picture. Is this too much or do I have sufficient space there to keep it as it is?
I plan to make an opening in the bottom of the wing root fairing (maybe a small hinged flap) to be able to purge the gascolator.
Your input would be very welcome, thanks.
