Fuel Lines

After I got the Andair fuel valve temporarily installed it was time to run the fuel lines from it back to the header tanks. I began by installing the fittings on the aluminum tube and then flaring the tube to fit on the Andair. Once the fittings were installed I bent the tubes to go back and below each side of the electrical conduit. As always in a learn as you go proposition, my initial layout of the lines wasn't optimal because I had them above the electrical conduit until it was pointed out that it would be better to have the fuel lines running below the electrical stuff in case of a leak. Good call. So, after going through all the bending and fitting of the lines I had to start over.

No problem, just grab some more fuel line and go. Finally got it all done in a way that works. Then I set about securing the lines.
