Since I'm in the middle of building an Aurora I also gave my Rappy a makeover of the fuel system.

When I'm done for the day I burnout the remaining fuel. I use the shut offs because I have an electric fuel pump that delivers alot of pressure. The regular plastic ones leak through.

It shows impressive...
I would "Uncomplicate it" you are asking for a possibility of a Air and or fuel leaks with TOO MANY CONNECTIONS!
Remeber the old Keep it simple and functional!
The longer the fuel line, valves, T's , Shut offs, the harder your engine works to.... Ah, Never mind...
Now that you have take a photo I would make it simple!

It's good enough for proffesional fliers....

As far as "simple" it's very simple. You need a filter, you need a tee for an inlet for "fueling", and you need a shutoff so you don't pump fuel into your carb when filling the tank. The only restriction that would make the engine work harder would be the filter when it gets crap in it. But thanks for your opinion.

It looks good but I was thinking the same thing about the air leaks.

I use the clips for closing the line.

I never tried the clips, the regular plastic ones with the button will let it leak through. I doubled up on every connection and then I pressurized the tank by pumping air in it. Not one leak.
