Time to start work on the fuel pick-up tube
I pulled the parts and temporary put them together (hand tight) just see how things fit together. This picture also shows the recommended torque setting for the fitting. I put this shot in here so I won't have to look it up again when I start on the right tank. I ordered these pre-fabricated pick-up tubes from Vans. I trust their design more than my pick-up tube creating abilities. The drawing came from the RVator magazine. It shows the wire tie down required now for the pick-up tube. You’ll notice that the fitting already has the hole drilled for the safety wiring, courtesy of Vans. This is in accordance with the Mandatory Service Bulletin(SB 06-2-23) where Van says to safety wire the AN818-6D coupling nut, it also says to torque the coupling nut 110-130 inch lbs. Which is a higher torque setting than the standard setting recommended in Section 5P (Aluminum Tubing) of the instruction manual.
