I'm trying to install the fuel line between the fuel selector and the
tank. If the line is run through the lower bracket as illustrated it runs
right into the gear weldment. If it is run through the upper gromet it
wanders about with many turns. If you just run it under the outboard
bracket it still wanders around. No problem with the RV9 because the gear
weldment is somewhere else. I'm thinking about runing neoprene between
the fuel selector and fuel tank. What think you oh wise one's? what can I
do to keep my fuel line from looking like a bent up twisted pretzel.
Joe RV9A Thank fuel line.

Joe.. I just did this and found the same thing.. I moved the fuel line to
middle hole.. the brake line 1/4" also hits if put in the bottom hole and
was unacceptable to me so I moved that one to the top hole and they fit in
there real nice.. the bottom hole I have reserved for the wiring that will
be going that way.. and that will be flexible enough it won't matter and can
be tye wrapped to the gear leg to hold it from wearing... you will find this
much easier and the lines then line up with the lightning holes in the gear
leg brace.. Good luck...
Tod

I just installed my fuel lines also except I had the
additional problem of a third line to recirculate fuel
back to the tanks (Eggenfellner Subaru modification).
I ran the feed line through the top hole, enlarged the
middle hole for the return line, and put the brake line
through the bottom hole. On mine, I was able to bend the
brake line around the weldment with room to spare as it
exited the outboard bracket so there is no contact.
Not sure what you mean by "wander around with many turns"...
Aside from some mild bends to get through the weldment holes,
there is just a "Z" bend where the tube exits the fuse which
I made by hand. Aesthetically, it leaves a lot to be desired,
but on the other hand, that is what all those covers are for. :-)
