Ahh yes, I remember the fuel line problems you had. Cracking tubing
if I remember right. I didn't like the way the tubing looked on
some of the bends either. It just seems suspicious, the grain pattern
that appears when you bend it in some places. I'm considering
yanking my lines out as well, and replacing them, but I'm thinking
of something different. I think it might be Vic's plane, but on
someone's, I saw that they had used flexible braided tubing from
the valve down through the tunnel and into the seat area. This seems
like it would save a LOT of headache, and create a better system that
wouldn't be as prone to vibration cracking....it would just cost many
times more. The other line that I don't like at all, is the short one
from the lower attachment on the valve to the fuel filter and pump.
It's so short and stiff when it's mounted that I can easily see that
one giving way some day. Again, spending a tiny bit of money on a
6" line seems to be a good way to go there. Of all the problems
I don't want to have, a cracked fuel line is right up there at the
top of the list.

Hi Rob,
A picture of the POS -12 in Van's RV-10 would be a great help. Thank you.

You need a Ray Allen POS-12 sensor. The POS -12 has the same sensor as the Trim
Servos. I need to get a picture of it mounted in one of Van's RV-10's.
