REFLECTOR: no finger strainers?

[Scott Baker]

Installing a larger metal hard point and threading it to accept a finger strainer is the more professional way of doing things - and it allows you to service the mesh strainer (versus bonding in a tea strainer inside the fuel strake, which cannot be serviced).

  I'm about to install the fuel pipes and I am tempted to just follow the procedure in the manual, namely to use no finger strainer (but to use the kitchen strainer instead) and have the pipe bonded to the fuselage.  Is there anything wrong with this simpler procedure?  The fewer fittings in the fuel system, the lower the chance of a leak, and the better I feel.

  Thank you,
  Grigore
