Bill's RV-7 Project

August 6, 2007 - Static Port System

After numerous tries, I had given up trying to bend the 3/8 tubing for the aux fuel pump. Thanks to a tip in the Vans Air Force forums, I ordered this steel fitting. Fitting screws into the aux fuel pump. Fuel tube goes straight into the fitting -- no bends required. Perfecto Mundo.

Didn't do a whole lot tonight. Just ran the clear tubing connecting the static ports around the bulkhead. Also fitted the T-fitting. I heated up the tubing with the heat gun so that the tube would fit over the fitting end.
