Hi all-
I am running VOR coax and LED strobe/nav wiring from my RV4 wingtip through bushings on the forward side of the spar. These join up with the safeair aoa/pitot plastic tubing near the bellcrank, and I plan to run this as a bundle in the space between the fuel tank and spar into the fuse. There are no exposed wires or quick disconnects in the area behind the tank. I am curious if others have done this and if it would be considered safe/unsafe to run wiring behind the tank like this. I'd like to keep things simple and light, so I'd prefer not to use conduit if I can safely do so.
On a related note, I have SW fuel senders in the wings, so obviously in that case at least there is a wire in direct proximity to the fuel tank.
(I did search the forums on this but was not able to find any info. Not sure how other RVs are built so the moderator can feel free to move this to the RV4 forum if that would be more appropriate.)
Thanks,
Eric
