Very instructive videos, kudos for you and your team. I have a question though: Is there a color code for the hydraulic lines or the fuel lines? I did see some brownish lines under the engine that Walter was converting. Thank you for your response.

@jyatim We don't paint any colors on the lines. Most of them are stainless steel tubing. Sometimes an oil leak can be cooked on to the steel as a brown color.

The engine was taken from an aircraft and so would be in an uncleaned state as we disassemble it.

How high is the fuel pressure the fuel is sprayed out at ?

[AgentJayZ]

@MidShipCivic The afterburner fuel is supplied at up to 400 psi.

[AgentJayZ]

@nguyentuan1990 a quarter mil. A bargain at twice the price !

Absolutely love your videos! Just wish I would have found out about your stuff earlier. Good stuff to know as I will be working on GE jet engines this summer. Thanks for putting these up!
