I just finished section 27iS, the 12iS fuel system, and I'm left with a couple of questions:
- The section 27iS intro photo on 27iS-01 shows the three F-01276C-1 SYSTEMS BLOCKs' top halves installed (see photo), but I haven't installed mine or found an instruction to do so anywhere later in the fuse/finish/powerplant/avionics plans, or the PAP. Where does this happen?
- I don't have huge confidence that my fuel system won't leak - another local builder advised that "you'll have leaks, and you'll fix them, don't worry about it now". Having looked ahead at how cramped things will get later on, I'm thinking about trying to test for leaks now, by connecting the two firewall fuel connections with a loop, putting a couple gallons of 100LL in the tank (because of its helpful blue dye), and powering up the fuel pumps to run fuel through the system at pressure. Anyone done this, or have other advice?
