Californian Fuel and Vent Lines

Tank Tender all done. Really an easy install but let me give this advise:

1) take careful consideration how you will get the plastic tubes from tank to panel. In my case, all easy except having to drill down into bilge within 1/4" of my diesel tanks! All turns must be smooth; no kinks, no pinching.

2) GENTLEMEN! Read the instructions first! I know. I know. Goes against all our manly instincts but, in this case, PLEASE go hide some where and read them.

All said and done, I feel happy about the install. No more guessing on fuel so one less thing for me to worry about on a passage.

The Calculations I made were right on the money at the panel first time I tested. And now? A well deserved Captains hour or three!
