Chapter 14, Aircraft Fuel System
There is nothing incorrectly done with the Jenny's fuel system if installed as
original. Any wood propeller with metal rivet sheathing should be inspected regularly
and at pre-flight for cracks, discoloration, lose rivets, etc. and any
repairs to be done by a qualified repair shop.

Keri Ann,
I guess that you misunderstood my reason for the post. Did Ron Alexander do anything
illegal or not in accordance with any FARs? Of course not. But Bill Reynolds
and I do think that the desire to "keep it original" was a contributing factor.
Would you not agree that just because my state allows an owner of a car built before
seat belts were standard equipment to not have the install them, and risk
can be better managed by installing them. I didn't use the word safe. I used
the term "manage risk". And that is why Bill Reynolds wrote what he did, and
I reposted.
The chances of an experimental aircraft act having an off field landing at some
point are fairly good, no matter how well the airplane is built. Ask William
Wynne if he wished he had had braided fuel lines instead of hard lines in his
accident, and ask Kevin Purtee if he regretted spending the money on braided fuel
lines that prevented fuel from escaping in his accident. I think you know
both answers.
As a good friend likes to say, "Life is full of choices." We can all choose which
types of fuel lines to use. Bill and I just want to point out the potential
results of certain choices. You may see it otherwise and that is your right.
