I have tried 3 different tube benders and have made at least 6 attempts at bending the 3/8" aluminum tube from the fuel selector forward to the aux fuel pump. I have used up 16 feet of tubing. My problem is that I can't make a bend close enough to the pump to keep the tubing off the floor. I finally made one that I would accept (had a small crease in it) but the A&P in the next hangar said it would not do. I was able to make the bends in the tubing from the selector through the gear mounts and out to the tanks using a spring bender but even with this bender, I can't get a good bend.
HELP!!!
