   It has taken a while but the plumbing of the tender is finally complete. Plumbing included fuel lines, low pressure water lines, injector water lines, high pressure water lines, high pressure electric pump, air lines and also the addition of some cool blue neon lighting. 

Here are some quick photos of the main valve section. Each line has a shutoff valve at the source.

It came out pretty nice and I learned how to bend tubing with some controlled results. Time for some finishing touches on the tender base and then off to powder coat for the tender body. Next task will be the electrical wiring of the tender.

If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape. If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
