Does anyone have pictures of the fuel lines and clunk installation of a three line setup? I'd like to see some pictures of a fuel tank cut away and how the components are hooked up and the kind of safeties used to secure the fuel lines to the clunk, vent line, and the fuel fill line. I have this friend that doesn't believe me when I told him how to install his fuel tank components. First of all he's using a fuel line with a very thin side wall so his fuel line keeps splitting causing the clunk to come off. I gave him a piece of the fuel line that I use and when he put his clunk on it the first thing he said was it's a nice tight fit but the fuel line was to stiff so it wouldn't flop back and forth when going inverted. I said it would only take a little use and that it would become more flexible over time and after it's been in the fuel for a little while and not to worry. But he said he didn't want to use my fuel line and he would use the stuff he had been using. I tried to explain to him that the line he was using was not the right type of fuel line and if it were my plane I wouldn't ever use the line he was using. I don't think he's going to listen to me so I told him that I would pray for his plane. Then he said this,,if your fuel line becomes more flexible then it's reacting with the fuel and it's probably deterierating and melting away. So I finally figured that no matter what I said he was going to be right and I was going to be wrong. So I said,,well then use whatever you want because your going to anyway. There's just no arguing with him so I just gave up trying. Then I told him to at least use a tie wrap to safety the fule line to the clunk and the vent line and he said that using a tie wrap wouldn't work because it would eventually melt away. I told him that I had been using tie wraps for years and I never had a problem but he just won't listen. So you see what I'm up against? Please, if someone could post some pictures of a fuel tank that's been cut in half (cut away view) to show how the components are installed and how their secured, I would really appreciate it. And if you could list the name of the tank parts that would be great. We'll be using glow fuel.
Thanks and best regards,,,,Phil
