Fuel Mgmt System ...
The tank fitting is connected to a Tee which provides a quick connect drain fitting at the bottom of the fuselage and a connection to the engine.
The fuel line from the Tee to the engine runs along the starboard side of the cockpit to a panel-like fitting secured to the cockpit tubing via cable clamps. The panel mounts the primer bulb and the cutoff valve. The level sensor cable also follows this path (grey cable) running behind the panel will connect to a VDO-like fuel gauge mounted in the instrument panel (Starboard side)..
From the cutoff valve the fuel line runs to the firewall and passes thru via a rubber grommet.
On the engine side of the firewall an elbo fitting will lead to an in-line fuel filter and thence to the Polini Thor 303.
Currently working on installing the upper and lower flaperon hangers (recently returned from the powder coater). Will provide pictures later.
