Fuel pump tinkering
I didn’t do much tonight. Getting the empennage disassembled last night kind of wore me out. I did manage to rivet the attach plate to the VS front spar.
I also finally received the 180 degree tube bender. I will not order anything from Amazon “Marketplace” again. It’s basically no better than Ebay–maybe worse. I ordered a tube bender off the Amazon web site. They charged my credit card immediately. I still haven’t received the bender from them, can’t find out the status, and can’t cancel the order. I ended up ordering one from the Sears web site and it showed up in one week. This is the Imperial 370-FH, the model that Walter Tondu recommended. This thing works great. If you’re going the fuel injection route with Van’s high pressure fuel pump kit, you’ll need a 180 degree bender. This is the best bang for the buck.
I tinkered with the bender for a while trying to figure out how to make the tubing runs for the Airflow Performance high pressure fuel pump and filter.
