I have a Monowheel with Airbrake lever installed. Both makes for less

options when running fuel lines to the engine.



My plan is to run fuel lines through some PVC plastic conduit on the port

side of the tunnel, punch into the cockpit through the pilot right side

thigh support on the fuse floor, sneak under the airbrake torque tube /

horn.



I will transition just about under the Airbrake torque tube from supplied

fuel hose to aeroquip stainless steel braided fuel hose the same diameter.

The transition will happen at 2 flowscan transducers. 



Now punch through the left cockpit module flange bout 4 inches below the

roof into the engine compartment, between the footwell side and the

vertical undercarriage mounting frame tube.



Anyone done similar? Are you flying?



How did you mount hoses?



Did you cover hoses with anything?



What are the details of how you made firewall penetration?



Any pictures?



Thx.

My return line runs along the co-pilot's side of the center console.  It

come straight down from the firewall from a 90 degree bulkhead fitting. It

goes straight to the floor and enters the theigh support and goes under the

seat where the return flowscan is mounted then goes back to the tank.  The 

line is securely attached at all positions and is flush to the corner

interface of the floor and console side.  There is 9 hours on the aircraft

now.  I probably could make a fiberglass fairing to cover it over but it is

fairly un-obtrusive as positioned now.
