[NSRCA-discussion] Aluminum fuel lines

Use RTV silicone and make a grommet around the fuel line. Silicone will hold
it in place and give some vibration resistance.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Aluminum fuel lines

 

I have finally reached the point all the mods I wanted to do to last year's
Focus are complete.
Now the reassembly.
In one of many attempts to reduce the planes weight I want to shorten my
fuel lines by moving my fuel dots and also by substituting
aluminum tubing for fuel line where I can on the long runs.  What's the best
way to anchor the aluminum?  Glue balsa standoff blocks to the
fuse sides and run the tubing through the blocks?  What kind of adhesive
will hold the best since I am sure some small amount of surface
oxidation will occur causing some glues to work better than others.
Thanks!
