I've been scratching my had trying to figure out how am I going to screw the 6D bulkhead fittings into a 1 inch hole , where the fuel line exits the fuselage at the wing root.



I just looked at the plans on Tim's site and as it turns out I have the Revision#2 plans and a Rev #0 fuselage. Even my Fuel selector bracket is different.



Do any of you know why this was changed?



The Rev 2 plans also show an extension rod for the fuel selector.



I guess at this point I should just print Tim's plans and use those.



Regards,

Lenny

In my plans, the fuel line is one piece from the tank to the fuel valve.  I

used a rubber grommet in the 1 inch hole.

I have Rev 1 plans that shows a 1 piece fuel line.  I guess I have a Rev 

0 QB fuse.  In any case,   I bought some extra fittings and used some 

large aluminum washers to hold the fittings in the large tunnel hole. 



Just couldn't make sense out of the single piece fuel line and the 

Andair valve I ended up using.

Lenny;

I would discourage you copying Tim's plans that are 2 revisions behind 

yours. I would call Van's and ask for insight. You should have all the parts 

to go with the plans, if you don't Van's will send you what you are missing.

Last week I had an issue with a piece that wasn't on the packing list at 

all, Van's sent me the part without question saying I should have it and 

it's on the way. They have been excellent with customer support and tech 

support through my build.

It sounds like the new revision plans are doing what many builders (Bob Newman and me) have done and installed bulkhead fittings at the fuselage instead of a continuous tubing run from selector to tank.  I'd really like to see what other changes they have instituted.  Per the previous message from Bob, you probably want to use a large rubber grommet rather than solid washers as per AC 43, you do not want tubing between bulkheads without some type of strain relief.

That's funny, I had no idea they did that but it's exactly what I ended up doing.  I used a rubber grommet and then captured it between a couple fender washers to make sure it doesn't go anywhere.

William,



I like the idea of using the bushings because I want to run flexible fuel lines to the wing root.



Do you know if anyone sells them, or do i have to make my own?

Lenny

Not that I'm aware of but I guess you can ask Bob Newman for the one he made and are not using because he is using the rubber washers.
