Installing drainage line for new style fuel pump

[Dgamble]

A piece of cake:

It's two new pages of instructions and a template page for bending the aluminum line. All of the parts required came in a separate bag, and the pages suggested removing the exhaust for retrofit installation, leading me to believe that a retrofit kit will be available if one isn't already.

Dave, save yourself some grief and re-locate that oil pressure sender. mine lasted 40 hours there.

Tempted, but there's that whole E-LSA thing. Will it be much harder to do later?

Not harder

Not harder to do later at all. Some of us Dynon D-180 panel builders mounted the relocated oil sensor on the same firewall screw that the fuel pressure sensor mounts on:

The one difference is that you, as a Skyviewer, will have to come up with a different way to mount the relocated oil pressure sensor since the new fuel pressure sensor which will come with the new avionics is mounted on a bracket on that screw.

I mounted mine with an Adel clamp bolted to the left side of the antenna mount. The hose was actually a bit short to mount it like Tony's. I am not trying to corrupt you, but I don't know if the inspector would say anything at all. It is clearly a superior application. Just sayin'
