Several hands have worked on the fuel system, and it no longer made sense to me. The plans have the line (aluminum tubing with flare fittings) running straight forward, along the airplane's centerline, to a grommet in the firewall. MANY people consider the grommet to be cheesy, and use a bulkhead fitting, but this forces the line slightly off centerline, and creates a possible interference with the rudder pedals. On THIS airplane, the original builder turned the line 90 degrees with an elbow, and modified the original handle for some form of remote actuation, now lost, when EAA 393 completely re-did the panel. The handle was replaced (see previous log entries), but it was still tough to reach to actuate - not what you want in an emergency. Also, the new handle did not fit the valve properly, and was only held on the stem with a few threads of a shear nut. I didn't like any of it. So I took it all out, and now have to re-fabricate the line in the image of the plans, and rig a remote actuator, using the various examples on Sonex Builders. The pictures show the fuel valve and handle as I found them, the handle side view after modification, the valve full open (note the little aluminum shim super glued in place to take up some slop between the handle and the stem), and the valve full open.
