Fuel Line Routing

Post by 48RagwingPilot »

I'm looking for copies of just those pages from the appropriate C170 IPC that depict the first time Cessna routed fuel lines from the wing tanks down the aft door posts. Thoughts? Thx.

Any idea what the loop is in the section of fuel line between the left tank and left door post? Perhaps either an anti-siphon loop or just for illustrative purposes? I've never seen that on a Cessna.

48,
I think that is just an optical delusion, the right fuel line would look like it had loop in it if the drawing perspective were from in front of the right wing.
