Looks good! Nice design for the B model fuel catch. I'm glad you liked our article in Sport Aviation!

[@pandyseven]

Hi Brian, please give my apologies to Adam for not mentioning him too in the article. I am thankful it was picked up that I need the catch can, and as always thanks for your input…

[@johnjensen2217]

I like the fuel catch pan idea. Looking forward to seeing how it works..👍

[@pandyseven]

I am of two minds with the overflow, be it an AN fitting with aluminum tube or hose from a 1/4 outlet? I will start with the catch can, then see how it looks.

@@pandysevenI kept my drain line small diameter (like 3/16") aluminum and also kept it aft of the firewall. I think if you go forward of the firewall something steel should be used - brake line might be a good option. You don't really need a lot of diameter because what happens when you or whoever is filling screws up, typically you stop and become more careful with the fill process. There needs to be just enough diameter to let it drain. It is generally not a lot of fuel. We have used this feature more than once!

Nice job Andy. The fuel catch looks really good. I'll have to copy it when I get to that point. I have the magazine, but I havent read the article yet - I'll have to check it out.
