you could end up sitting in a very uncomfortable puddle
I thought of this as a very unconfortable idea also.....so I drilled a sma
ll "weep" hole in the corner of each pan and epoxied in a small brass tube
to the underside of the aircraft. I would prefer to lose this fuel than
land with it.

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