Hello, In order to make it simpler to code complex fuel systems, it would be
nice to have a tool with a GUI to design the fuel system of the aircraft. The
process would start with defining tanks and engines/apu and allow them to be
connected by clicking and drawing fuel lines, and defining the other
components (valves, junctions, etc). Just an idea to consider.

I third that!
for the love of GOD please…

I was dealing with the difficulty of keeping track of all the lines in a fuel system configuration so I decided to try and build an editor tool.
The key problem to solve was to be able to connect the nodes and have the lines generated automatically. This may have a few small bugs and it can’t do everything but this might help some developers out.
Open source and it runs in the browser.

I found time to work on this project and added an importer for config files. It doesn’t handle trigger or burner nodes yet but you can at least see how other aircraft have implemented a fuel system. This the 737 Max graph. I’d love any feedback and ideas. I’ll keep working on it if there’s value here. I like building tools that make our jobs easier.

Your tool is amazing, and I want to express my most sincere gratitude for making it.
Would love to see something similar for the hydraulics, pneumatics and maybe electrical wiring too.
