hose-tails.
 In some cases it may be necessary to cut the lines off the hose tails due to lack of access, hard, tight
lines etc. Care must be taken that sufficient spare line remains to re-connect for assembly,
alternately a new line must be fitted.

 For aircraft with wing tanks:
- Remove the header tank cover (the baggage shelf for J160 / J170 family aircraft and the sound
curtain at the rear of the cabin for J230 family aircraft).
- Ensure there are no U’s or inverted U’s in the lines.
- Ensure line restraints are spaced at intervals no greater than 400mm (In some cases fuel lines
are bundled inside tubes which are Velcro-ed to the aircraft – this is sufficient restraint.) If new
restraints are added, plastic line clips can be bonded to the aircraft structure. (Figure 169 refers).
Fasteners such as screws, which damage the structure, should not be used.
