Yeah that one is an air supply. I was a 15T. the fuel supply is all solid line

Pretty sure that's the main fuel line. Worked on T700s for six years.

Y'all are making other readers feel really confident in our aviation mechanics, I'm sure. Air supply? Fuel supply? Who knows? Who cares? Mechanics don't fly, once it gets out of the bay it's someone elses problem.

It's a mechanics problem if the plane they worked on crashes.
