Nov 21, 2022 3 Reinstalled fuel line, autopilot servo and fuel tank Category: Fuel System
The new fuel line went in OK -- it might have been about 1/32" long -- but took a lot of finagling to get the threads to engage on the fitting but that was eventually accomplished. Had to remove one control rod to reinstall the Adel (cushioned) clamp then holds it into place and then reinstalled. Then bolted the fuel tank back in place, torqued all fittings to about 87 inch pounds (after calculating for the Crow's foot). I used a torque value of the midway point of the callout for a 3/8" aluminum tube. Then reinstalled the auto pilot servo and control rod. Lots of scrapes on the hand.
