Torqued the fitting on the fuel pump assembly, then fabricated the fuel line between the pump and firewall fitting. Installed the assembly to airfrrame, torqued the fuel lines to from tanks to fuel selector. I had to do this in a awkward position, took me quite a while to just have the threads to engage.

For all fittings other than those I had to install in an awkward position, I followed the "hand tight, then 1/4 turn" method for final torque. Two fitting that I had hard time to hand tighten them, I just torqued them by feel. Hope there will be no leaks later on.
