Fuel Sump

[bipbuilder]

Perhaps I will regret posting this but, when I installed a fuel sump in my onex I came straight out of fuel tank and through the fire wall. I then put a t in the line and went straight down to a sump fitting supported by a piece of aluminum angle. Yes it is between the exhaust pipes but will not drip on them.( i usually sump before running engine.) After the t it goes to a filter then into the aero injector. And yes the fuel must be turned on to sump it. An added benefit of the fuel line going down is it gives the water some were to collect on its way to the aero injector. Also it is mounted just above the belly so if I did break the gear off and slide in it should be protected.

I did similar to what you described. I have not yet installed the Curtis quick drain but it will stick out the bottom of the cowling when I get the cowling installed. I have the valve and boost pump in the cockpit. You can see the Tee in this picture.
