REFLECTOR:Low fuel light

[Mike Pollock]

You know, we built our 173RG per the original plans of 1993, and we have not
had any of the problems that it appears people are having now with fuel
management on their velocities.  Our tanks flow evenly, and the sump always
remains full until the tanks are both empty, and our low fuel warning only
goes off when I key my mic on certain frequencies (only need to get time to
add a capacitor to the power leads on the thing), so I don't think there is
a design flaw with the system.

Your right on Chuck...

Why doesn't the factory re-design it to be a positive flow system and be
done with it...
Maybe there afraid the re-design may indicate that a problem existed in the
first place...
Pilot error is un-controllable...But, fuel starvation due to poor design can
be fixed and should be...


Best... Steve
