Fuel tank vent line and sensors

We spent time this weekend working on the "plumbing" for the fuel tank.  As you can imagine the fuel tank needs a vent line installed so that as fuel in removed from the tank it doesn't collapse (think of sucking juice of a juice box, without air coming in the box collapses).  We used our flaring tool and straightened out a coil of the vent line.  We also started work on the wiring for the fuel sensors and installed the sensing plates.  We ran out of a few electrical components that we'll order and have for the next building session.
