* If you have the setup for SDS fuel pumps, consider not running the hose from the fuel valve to the pumps in a straight line. The hose is very short and stiff and has no way to shrink / stretch if there is no bend in it. It also gives you a bit more freedom concerning how far to screw the fitting into the pump assembly. The milled distribution manifold may not allow you to add another full turn.<br>[[File:2023-09-04 14-32-38.jpg|467x467px]] | * If you have the setup for SDS fuel pumps, consider not running the hose from the fuel valve to the pumps in a straight line.

* The fuel | * The fuel line(s) under the seats are held by F-1084A/F-1084B. Normally the metal lines are protected by plastic bushings with 0.375 ID / 0.5 OD. For the premade hoses, one can use rubber grommets forced over the fitting with a bit of heat, e.g. ID 0.5 (1/2), OD .594 (19/32). This requires enlarging the two forward F-1084 holes to 19/32 (two for SDS installations). Make sure the F-1084B top part is on in the right orientation as it is not symmetrical. | ||
* For the large existing fuel exit hole (which usually holds a rubber grommet for the metal line to come out), use the TCW machined washer / fitting set. Use the machined washer half on the inside and the plain washer on the outside. The outside washer needs to be trimmed on the lower side to not interfere with F-1099G (4 hole wing root fairing support). | |||
* For SDS installations, a second hole for an additional 90 degree fitting needs to be drilled into the side skin with a step drill. The location is specified in the premade fuel line manual (1 1/4 rear of rivet line, 1 1/2 inches up from side skin straight lower edge. The diameter is smaller than the existing hole, just large enough to hold the #6 fitting (9/16). | |||
* Consider fluting and riveting F-1099G to the side skin before installing the fuel fittings and under-seat hoses as the full rivets will be hard to buck with the fuel system installed. | |||
