Fuel System Prep

Started the process of installing the fuel selector valve, electric fuel pump and fuel lines that go out to the wings. It's been an expensive past few days as I've been purchasing specialty tools that I need now and in the future. These included a torque screwdriver, another tungsten bucking bar, a tubing bender for the aluminum fuel lines, tubing cutter, a 37 degree flaring tool, tube deburring tool, a ratcheting crimper for insulated terminals and a small tube of Pro Seal. It took time to research what I wanted to get that best fit my needs. None if it is cheap but I've learned that good tools in the end are usually worth it. Then started the process by cutting apart the fuel tubing brackets into individual pieces and dressing the edges. They will get blind riveted into the forward fuselage.
