Title: Fuel Tanks
Had a few bumps on the road to installing the fuel tanks. First one the banjo fitting kit from Kitfox had adapters that were not drilled correctly and stopped the banjo bolt from fully threading in. Kitfox sent me new ones that were correct. While waiting for the shipment, I followed the directions to notch out the #1 rib to clear the fuel strainer and banjo bolt. Did both wings and was happy with the result. I also primed the outside of the spars with 2K epoxy primer. Received the new adapters and got ready to install them and glue in the tanks. Found out the directions that are in the STi wing section are incorrect and for the 7SS Sport wing. The notch that I put in the rib per the directions is not even close. Not happy about that don't you know. I notched out the rib in the correct place but am now thinking about using PFTE fuel hose rather than rubber and changing the fittings from barb to 6AN. Waiting for a 6AN banjo so I can compare the fit and function. Hopefully I will get the fitting here shortly.
