Hi John
 
Here are a couple pictures of an install I did a few years ago. I used a small amount of 30 minute epoxy and microballoons at all of the contact points. Different views but you get the idea. It  worked fine.

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 substitutingaluminum 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 thefuse sides and run the tubing through the blocks?  What kind of adhesive will hold the best since I am sure some small amount of surfaceoxidation will occur causing some glues to work better than others.Thanks!JLK
