Short Description: Installed the AFP Auxillary Fuel Pump
|
|
Installed the AFP Auxillary Fuel Pump and the Pump to Firewall Fuel Line from TS Flightlines.
The kit Fuel Pump supplied by Vans is an Andair Pump that some had reported issues with in the past. Expensive to begin with, the Andair Pump carried a 65% additional tariff prior to the Supreme Court's decision ending the tariffs set as by our President.
I had omitted most of my fuel system from my kit because I was planning to install the SDS System on the engine. Tariffs added on to the SDS System pushed me back towards a standard fuel system installation. After my decision, this tariff was also removed secondary to the SCOTUS decision.
Connected the CS-00002 Elevator Push-Pull Tube to the CS-00012 Idler Arms. Connecting Push-Pull Tubes is often a frustrating process. The bolt has to pass through one of the Idler Arms, through washers inserted on both tight sides of theTube's rod bearing end, through the other Idler Arm, then through two more washers and the metal stop nut. At least three hands are needed to juggle the multiple parts, in a confined space, with gravity often working against you. After numerous attempts, success is so sweet. The next task is the attachment of the CS-00001 PUSH-Pull Tube to the CS-00006 Control Column forward of the Spar and within the Cover Ribs.
