Engine

Exhaust and Fuel System ( 2 hrs )

Completed Heating System w/ last DG-12 adel clamp on engine mount tube, attaching DG-32 holding 2" SCAT hose to LH Vent.  Finally...yay!  Repeated 30 psi air pressure leak test of LH Fuel System (I ordered/received AN 6 sized cap for RH side to insure not leaking during test).  Using soap suds, discovered tiny leak between Fuel Pump and Fuel Filter on pipe threads.  Disassembled, re-applied thread sealant - and NO leaks for 1 hr.
2" SCAT hose routed to LH Vent.  Clamps
position hose clear of  potential rub points

Discovered tiny air leak at pipe threads during pressure
 test (center of pic).  Bubble grew over couple minutes. 
Removed inline filter from Fuel Pump, re-applied
 pipe thread...no leak.
