![]() wrote 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. -- Jim in NC |
