It looks like it could potentially be stepped on when entering the cockpit or get kicked with the back on ones foot while in the cockpit. Have people routed it as close as possible to the front face of the spar? Have people shielded it similar to want is done on the RV-7? Many thanks.

On my annual inspection (or every 100 hours) I drain out the line from the fuel pump to firewall because this is the lowest spot in the system. Hope this helps, Tom Law Whitehorse, Yukon RV6-A (flying since 2005) _____ From: owner-rv6-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv6-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Colleen and Brett Herrick Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 7:03 PM Subject: RV6-List: RV-6A Fuel Line Routing (Tank to Fuel Tank Selector Valve) How have people routed this fuel line?
