Worked on Fuel Lines

I fabricated the other short fuel line up to the fuel selector as a mirror image of the right side.

I then fabricated the line up to the union that passes through the side of the fuselage.  I don’t have the unions yet, but they should show up tomorrow.

On the outside of the fuselage, the line turns forward.  There will be another union here and a short line from the fitting on the fuel tank.  It’s unfortunate to have this many fittings, but the only other reasonable option is a flex line from each tank all the way to the fuel selector.  That would be heavier and would require periodic replacement.  As long as I don’t have any leaks, these are a much better solution and will last the life of the plane.
