Today I worked on several different items. I prepped the fuel tank and installed it in
the fuselage.
After it was bolted in
place I connected the new fuel vent to the tank fitting. I also attached the fuel line and the fuel
return line to the bottom of the tank. I
also reinstalled the ELT back onto the bracket behind the co-pilot position.
After installing the fuel tank I attached the turtle deck pieces
to the fuselage. They are ready to be
riveted in place.
I attached the experimental placard to the
baggage are rear bulkhead.
I also laid
out the location of the hole in the fuel tank fitting access panel. I drilled the panel with a 1" hole saw
and installed the grommet I modified earlier.
After certification I am going to put the drain I fabricated under the
tank. I will require cutting, installing
a fitting and flaring the fuel line to make the connection.
I turned my attention to my fuel cans. I have 2-5 gallon fuel cans I am planning to
use for self-fueling of the airplane. This
is a picture of the cans with the flexible spouts installed. I also have the ground cable and the Mr. Fuel
filter. I need to file my self-fueling
request with the Airport Authority.
