Fighting the fuel line
Spent another hour and half and wasted 6 ft of tubing trying to get the tube bent for the short run from the selector to fuel pump. Van's design is amazing sometimes.. but others you have to wonder what the engineers were thinking! The fuel pump sits at a 45 degree angle... down next to the floor on the firewall. There just isn't enough clearance to get a tube bent without it hitting the floor. Paul had the same problem, so I don't feel to stupid.. but geezzz is it frustrating. Not sure how I'm going to get it bent. I think I'll move on to something else for now.
(Time: 1.5 hrs; Total Fuse Time: 362 hours)
