Hello all,
While removing the right-hand side fuel tank on my RV4, I dented the flare of the fuel line. I cut and redid the flare but it's now just a bit tight and susceptible to chaffing near the grommet. The fuel line goes in one piece from the tank to the Andair fuel valve. Instead of redoing the whole line (which is a complicated 3D exercise!), I am thinking of cutting it behind the fuselage wall, add a replacement tube, flare and use an AN815 union. Is it acceptable or would you advise to redo the whole line?
Thank you very much
Olivier
