Oh heck no!!!!! This is a VariEze, so the valve lever is directly under my right forearm. Thus, when running on the fuselage tank, the lever is straight up and there is no way in the known universe I can say….” I didn’t know I was running in my reserve tank”
The LongEZ fuel selector by design, is between your knees and it’s a matter of just reaching down and switching tanks. The JD crash was a tragedy that was 100% preventable. It still doesn’t change the outcome and the number one reason you don’t deviate that drastically from the plans.
Didn’t get much done on this POS fuel line disaster other than purchasing some misc fittings to make a rudimentary template for a new Teflon SS braided with crimped ends. The next step is to seat the crimped fittings onto the 3/8” aluminum tank lines.
On an unrelated note: removed the upstairs toilet and getting ready to install a new TOTO Clayton. I will spare everyone pics of the removal and mess related to such a task.
