posts places them in the Bay Area.)

Steve called me when he got in, but was knackered by the drive down
from PDX. He was going to nap and call me later, but if he did, I
missed it.

Damn -- didn't read this until way too late... Maybe a bunch of us here
should do an informal evening fly-in / get-together at some greater Bay
Area airport with a restaurant (even if it's just a Cattleman's :-) )
sometime soon? Napa, Sacramento, Monterey, and Livermore all come to
mind. I'd be happy to organize it if there's any interest at all...

Home Depot Aerospace at its finest:

Does anybody other than me think that this looks a little dodgy? I see
what it's apparently set up to do - you can use either or both pumps to
pump fuel from either or both ferry tanks - but that seems like a lot of
tapered pipe threads that have to not leak. I also can't tell if the
square base plate is metal or wood; if it's wood, then shouldn't there
be a little more bonding going on? The apparent rigid connection
between the two fuel pump outlets also looks interesting.

Disclaimer: I don't have an A&P; I don't even have a TG&Y, so I could be
way out in left field on this.

I was thinking the same thing. Galvanized pipe fittings, standard plumbing
ballcocks? The runs of flexible pipe look like water supply lines used to
hook up sinks and toilets.

I would take it back and tell them to do it again, using aircraft grade pipe
and fittings.

Would I fly that bird across the big ocean? Not in this lifetime.
