Main tank rear outlet routing

[rodsmith]

I'm in the process of plumbing my fuel tanks. The flap torque tube seems to be right in the way of running the rear tank outlet tubing. There is only 1/2" clearance between the torque tube and the wing skin and I am afraid if I lift the tubing above it the tank won't drain completely. Looking for advise.

I figured this out, I wasn't thinking in 3 dimensions. There is enough space between the wing root and fuselage to route the line outside of the flap torque tube arm.

I think you're building a 4 place and I'm working on a Patrol, so I'm not sure how similar the two are, at the wing root. I see that you figured it out, but I took a picture today, while working. See below;

Thanks Bill, that photo clearly illustrates what I wasn't visualizing at first.
