Bending Fuel Tubing (and more!) - RV-7A | EP3.29

Time to make some more "systems" progress. There are several fuel lines and components to the fuel system, and we dabble in a bit of it all in this first of what will likely be several non-sequential episodes dealing with the fuel system.

First up, I bent the vent lines from 1/4" aluminum fuel tubing using a tubing bender, bending plyers, and my own brute strength.

Later, I begin the installation of the Andair fuel valve, fuel pickup lines, and get the stage set for the Airflow Performance fuel boost pump and filter.

Thanks for following!

I'm Ryan, an aviation enthusiast who has decided to build his own aircraft and publish the entire process online for others to watch along. If you have ever want to build an airplane, this is a great glimpse at what it takes.

The airplane is a two-person experimental kit built aluminum plane capable of over 200 miles per hour, and a range of over 700 miles. The kit is manufactured by Van's Aircraft, one of the most prolific kit providers on the planet, now embroiled in a Chapter 11 reorganization process in order to prevent bankruptcy ;-). The airplane is aerobatic, functional, and fun. The build is challenging, time consuming, fun and rewarding.
