    Subject: Filter-to-Pump Fuel Line
    I am looking for advice on the best way to bend this line. The instructions are not very helpful. At least I have only one line through the gear tower to bend as I am going with a carbureted engine. I have bent a practice line in two sections that meet inside the gear tower just to get the bends at each end right, but I don=99t know how much this will help with the final line. I will leave it in place while I bend the brake line just to occupy the space. Bending and flaring this line looks near impossible to me at this point, but I know that cannot be the case. I am also not sure when the best time is to install the line. I may be premature. My fuselage is still wide open as I want to do as much as possible inside before I install the top skins. I will greatly appreciate all suggestions including any viable alternatives to in-place fabrication. Stan Loer RV-8 QB

    I tried this myself more than once. All my other fuel lines turned out rea lly =0Agood except that one and the one from the Facet pump to the firewall . I finally =0Adecided there was no way I was going to be able to do a res pectable job with =0Athem, so I went ahead and had Tom at TSFlightlines mak e a couple of braided =0Alines for me. Turned out great. Now that they're installed, I've decided to go =0Afuel injection instead.
