Gents,
Those of you out there with RV-6/7/8 with an inverted pickup in your tank(s) you maybe able to help.
I am finishing the fuel line plumbing to the fuel tanks on my RV-7A (wings are on temperorily). I am building the fuel line per the plans. I began feeding and bending the fuel line to the inverted pickup tube bulkhead fitting on the tank. After just about completing the routing I was ready to flare the fuel tank end of the line when it occurred to me that I might have some trouble actually putting the tank on with this continuous fuel line. So I tried to install the tank and found that I indeed could not get in on due to the line interfering with the fuel tank forward attach bracket.
Am I missing something? A simple fix would be to cut the fuel line and install a AN coupling in the wing root area.
Please enlighten me. What have other done?
Thanks,
Paul
