Fuel Tanks

Easy day in the garage today. Worked a bit later than usual and didn't really feel like embarking on too extensive of a task. So, I cleaned up a bit and started fabricating some retaining brackets for the fuel return line. The fuel return is going to simply be an AN832-6D bulkhead union that will dump fuel back into the tank. I don't have any pics of the bracket but it's pretty similar to the T-1010 bracket designed to hold the AN832-4D vent union (just bigger, and uglier because I made it by hand instead of Vans' pre-punched deal).

Maybe tomorrow some more pro-sealing? We'll see. I think I'm procrastinating on this a bit, because I hate this stuff, and once you mix it up you're committed to a few hours worth of messy work with essentially no interruptions.
