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. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:23:57 AM PST US From: "Tod Watkins" Subject: Re: RV9-List: RV9A Fuel line --> RV9-List message posted by: "Tod Watkins" 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...

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. :-) -- Tim Coldenhoff www.deru.com/~rv9a 90338 - plumbing/electrical/finishing ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:57:18 PM PST US From: DThomas773@aol.com Subject: Re: RV9-List: RV9A Fuel line --> RV9-List message posted by: DThomas773@aol.com If you guys would build taildraggers you wouldn't have this problem.
