Right Tank Resistive Float Sender and Vent Line

https://audiopronews.com/headlines/z2mqrekg More progress made on the fuel tanks tonight! I picked up with the right tank, and I wanted to get the vent line trimmed and finished. I had left it a little long so I could trim it down to size once I bought a tubing cutter. Well, I remembered to stop by Ace Hardware today on my way home from flying a PA-11 Cub and bought a decent little tubing cutter. I spent a good deal of time playing with the cutter as well as my Parker flare tool that came in my tool kit, learning on scrap bits of tubing until I felt confident at making the cuts and flares on the actual parts. Here’s the carnage from my little learning session.

I measured roughly where I’d need to cut the tubing to line up with the bulkhead fitting, and then made my cut. I can still push the excess tubing out to the outboard side, and just trim there if I haven’t made a precise measurement, so no real worry. I am pretty happy with the way my first official “production’ flare and fitting went!

https://mhco.ca/od1kq1nu0iy I have about an inch of extra I will need to trim on the outboard side, where the vent attaches to the clip on the filler neck, but thats an easy one since theres no fitting thats go on it. I marked where I think it should be and trimmed it with the cutter.

Since I don’t have flop tube in the right tank, I can use the traditional method of installing the sender as outlined in the Vans plans. So I pulled the sender from the shelf, making sure I had the proper one, as there are two different senders and they are specific to each wing. After double checking against the plans, I grabbed the F-385C sender. This is what comes in the box.

source Notice the float arm is straight. We need to bend it per the plans with a 3″ arm, then a 90′ degree bend with another 3″ section. Like this:

https://kirkmanandjourdain.com/o6urujss34 Heres the kicker! The plans don’t tell you that you need to bend another 90 degree turn that slots into the sender body to hold the arm! I would not have caught that but I was reading the instructions that came with the sender and noticed that we need a 0.6″ bend to slot in the body. So, I measured things up, and made the bends. This is how it came out. Notice the little bend at the end of the float arm! I did have to trim the excess off with a hacksaw and then ground the end down nice and smooth.

I did have to bend it a little this way and that to get the float to work like I wanted but eventually after some gently bending I managed to get the float to rest just above the tank bottom, with it traveling all the way to the top almost touching the top skin. Then I hooked up a Vans fuel level gauge I bought from another builder so I could make sure it worked OK.

https://www.villageofhudsonfalls.com/57hmgotr87 After I tested the fuel sender, I called it a night. Tammy had dinner cooking and it was making the whole house smell AMAZING, even down in the shop. I was getting to hungry to push on any further for the night! But, this essentially finished up the actual fitting portion of the tanks. I do still need to install the float sender in the left tank, but due to its flop tube, I will need to put the float sender on the baffle, and I may wait until I have some prosealing done before doing that work.
