After having the Tygon lines stepped on, abused, etc. during the later stages of building, I replaced all of them with Teflon/steel braid lines. It is facinating that your airplane was built with such a complex system and still used Tygon tubing and included sight gauges.

No timing, switching tanks, etc. I Land after 3 to 3.75 hours and repeat from the beginning. If the wrong red light comes on, say "Uh Oh!" and look for a place to land within 1 hour or 180 NMs, whichever comes first. Other lights (or lack thereof) can cause a higher pitched "Uh Oh". --part1_1e.592c200.2b3a5b0c_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 12/24/2002 5:26:40 PM Central Standard Time, Lee.Metcalfe@jocoks.com writes:
