Does anyone know of any guidelines regarding the minimum safe distance
between oxygen equipment (tanks, high pressure lines, low pressure lines)
and fuel system equipment (tanks, lines, valves)?
Thanks!

From AC 43 13-1B Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices
8-30b Fuel Systems
b. Routing. Make sure that the line does
not chafe against control cables, airframe
structure, etc., or come in contact with electrical
wiring or conduit. Where physical separation
of the fuel lines from electrical wiring or
conduit is impracticable, locate the fuel line
below the wiring and clamp it securely to the
airframe structure. In no case should wiring be
supported by the fuel line.
11-126. FLAMMABLE FLUIDS AND
GASES. An arcing fault between an electrical
wire and a metallic flammable fluid line may
puncture the line and result in a fire. Every effort
must be made to avoid this hazard by
physical separation of the wire from lines and
equipment containing oxygen, oil, fuel, hydraulic
fluid, or alcohol. Wiring must be
routed above these lines and equipment with a
minimum separation of 6 inches or more
whenever possible. When such an arrangement
is not practicable, wiring must be routed
so that it does not run parallel to the fluid
lines. A minimum of 2 inches must be maintained
between wiring and such lines and
equipment, except when the wiring is positively
clamped to maintain at least 1/2-inch
separation, or when it must be connected
directly to the fluid-carrying equipment. Install
clamps as shown in figure 11-10. These
clamps should not be used as a means of supporting
the wire bundle. Additional clamps
should be installed to support the wire bundle
and the clamps fastened to the same structure
used to support the fluid line(s) to prevent
relative motion.
