- Now that we've finished installing the fuel sender in the left fuel tank, let's get the tank installed in the wing. We need to run a couple of ground wires and then we are ready to connect the fuel line. But what type of fuel line should we use?

You are one the best channel that i follow!
You are giving me the build-a-plane-by-myself bug!
Doooo iiiitttt (insert evil laugh)
enjoy watching a man that takes pride in what he's doing--great job can't wait for next episode
Hey Mark... after viewing your channel from Cruzer thru now , I'm gaining a much greater appreciation for the added cost , time and sometimes weight that comes with making improvements and modifications to the original plans. In my opinion all well worth it! Thanks again! Blue Skies!
Sometimes your meticulousness reminds me of Christian Bale's character in American Psycho LOL In the best possible way thou! Observing your organization skills & eye for detail, has definitely motivated me to go that extra miles on my own projects!
Profesional work yields professional results.. Mark's work is top notch , of course after building this many airplanes you almost have to have developed a really good skill set!
Learning a ton from your videos! So great to have someone who has built before giving tips and pointers and being so willing to demo the explanations. Thank you!
Obviously you care about the finished product. Your ideas are very helpful. Thanks for the details.
I like your thought of construction and improving on pass experience. Five stars in my book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
I enjoy your channel, can not say I have any thing going on now, but I can say after watching your and a few other channels has given me the itch to start to see if things might be feasible for me. thanks.
Awesome-I hope you can find the time to build an airplane someday!
Keep up the great work and don't forget to have a flight in your 750 Cruzer from time to time..
Great series. I really look forward to the next episode. Thank you so much for the effort needed to produce these. Your a natural teacher.
Super clean fuel setup! Nicely done sir..
Another excellent educational video. Thank you.
Top notch workmanship!
Good show.
I hope you can find the time to answer my questions as we are installing the tanks in a cruser this weekend! When you decided to cut the hole in the wing for the sender access you made a surface patch. I was wondering how you came up with the number of nut plates you used? I was wondering why you did not use a doubler under the hole with the nut plates in the inner portion of the ring and then install a flush panel in the inner section? When a section of a area is cut out on a certified airplane you have to use a certified patch information or AC43.13. Using AC43.13 last night trying to figure out a patch for a ruffly 4" square I came up with about 80 rivets on the outer ring of a doubler. This is why I am asking about the number of nut plates and or rivets on the access panel. I am not trying to being negative, I am just trying to learn from someone who has already been there during this build. Thanks for your videos and stay safe and well.
Please go look at all the other access holes in your kit and let me know which ones have 80 rivets around them! Don’t make building airplanes more difficult than it needs to be!
I very appreciate your videos and have now decided to start a project too. I will do my first experiences with metal work and will build the rudder kit of a Savannah S😀
Great idea with the steel braided fuel lines Mark. Are you going to use the same sealer you used on the fuel sender install?
Hey Mark, love your videos as always! Did you use a rubber grommet for the fuel supply line at the exit of the tank or just drill a larger hole? I'm having a bit of trouble getting the AN fittings and braided lines to fit through the stock Zenith holes. Also, where did you get the plastic/rubber protective wrapping for the fuel lines?
If you put the grommet in the hole and then try to pass the hose through, you may not be able to get the hose through the hole. You need to put eh hose through the hole first, then slip the grommet over the hose, and work it back to the hole. It's a little more difficult to get the grommet in the hole since the hose is there, but you can work it in.
Easy to understand uncertainty of where exactly to terminate a hard line before the fuselage is built. So why not just leave it long and terminate that end when ready to mate with the fuselage?. There is enough tubing flexibility and access for flaring tool, I would think, to do so during wing install. The braided Teflon lines are great, but they are heavier and an order of magnitude more expensive.
Do you or have you used a Nibbler tool to make cutouts? I find them to be fast and accurate, especially on soft material like Aluminum skins.
Yes-I used the nibbler to cut all the holes in my Cruzer panel. It does work fine, but I've found it quicker to use the Dremel and the cut-off wheel.
Which compound are you using to seal the AN fuel fittings Loctite 577 Thread sealant, EZ-Turn lubricant or an epoxy one like 3M Scotch-Weld 2216 Epoxy Adhesive as recommended by EAA?
I can't remember the name off hand, but I did show it on a previous video. I'll post the name when I get to the hangar.
@@KitplaneEnthusiast Thanks. For your info I'm about to start building a Sling TSI that should arrive from South Africa mid December.
You're not running a breather line to the tank near the filler?
No, the fuel caps will be vented just like in my Cruzer.
Why does it seem that all these kit plane builds seemingly have skipped primer on all the internal aluminium assemblies?
Why would you rivet a wire to ground? Why wouldn't you use a screw? If you ever had to replace the wire connector you have to drill out the rivet.
Hey Bill-good question. First, the rivet works fine and I'll never have to worry about a nut coming loose. Secondly, there would be no reason to need to replace the wire. Finally, let's say I did use a screw and at some point I needed access to that screw. I'd have to remove 200+ rivets just to be able to get to the screw.
your crimp tool in ohio is known as- STAKE ON PLIERS- just sayen
