 |
|
I am building a 601HD from plans and have installed fuel tanks on in the wing outer section aft of the main spar (baggage comp.). I would like to route the fuel line through the leading edge but this would require drilling a hole through the main spar web. Has anyone done this, if so did you use a bulkhead fitting or just a grommet? Jerry of GA

Jerry,
The grommet would require less inspection attention than a bulkhead
fitting but you need a clamp to limit movement one side or the other.
I'm curious why you don't bring
the fuel along behind the spar in under the seats and go forward thru
the center spar to join at a selector valve forward of the spar.
Aluminum tube and fittings are easily arranged to do this. You'll also
need a convenient accessible connection at the wing joint to be able to
remove the wings.

I want to reduce the length of fuel line in the cabin also not too sure about running the line throught the same hole with the control tube in the main spar. Guess I could go through another hole. I will use aluminum tube for the fuel system with a break to remove the wings. Jerry of Ga
