Aust assembled/manufactured F15A fuel lines did not go through the chassis, but over it.

From the fuel pump to the outside of the right chassis rail, and down to the fuel filter, then back up and across the cross member to the fuel tap in the middle/right of the cab floor. Then a fuel line ran to each fuel tank along the top of the cross member (one to the left, one to the right), then a right angle turn in each pipe and back to the fuel tank outlet. That's my memory: can someone with an F15A verify that memory, please?

Mike

I have seen photos showing as Mike says, and a complete turn loop before heading down from above chassis rail/s. From memory, I recalled reading something about this being to avoid vapor lock, but I don't know if that is correct or a later addition.
