Hi! Tony I guess you are a Mono driver?
If a trike driver though then my 914 set up is in modular form passing
through the belly wheel well where the mono wheel would be parked!

Subject: Europa-List: Underseat Fuel System
My existing fuel system setup has the fuel exiting the tank outlets via GS
fittings, spanwise for 6-8", then 90 degree bend through back of seat and
into underseat area. My original building mentor, Mal McLure had his entire
914 system underneath the passenger seat, and my setup was an aberration of
that, with a parallel fuel system originally setup for a 912S, but now I
have the 914. So, my fuel from each respective side of the tank currently
goes to underneath the seat pans. My question is, does anyone have theirs in
the same place, or is everyone putting it aft of the seatback?? If so, I
suppose I will reroute it via its current location, out the inboard side of
the underseat area into the tunnel, then aft from there. I struggle to think
going aft, to then come forward again is the best way to go, but I am open
to suggestions. I suppose it is better to smell fumes and with confidence
know they are behind you, than under you!! Also, you could end up sitting in
a very uncom!
fortable puddle, and I bet if this occurred you would be that scared you
would be contributing to it. By putting it aft, and I do have a suspended
shelf setup between the vertical ribs that support the extended baggage bay,
I could put all the fuel setup into a plastic container such that all
plumbing, or most of the joins etc are encapsulated. Any ideas welcomed.
