[dean fitzbag]

Could be a simple but dangerous fuel leak.

  After 50 hrs. of checking things out and correcting almost every problem I have read about on the reflector, I now have one more.

  This is SRG Franklin/Ivo,
  After approx. 20/30 min. at 2300/23lb I get fuel flow that was 10.5 gph going from 9 to 14.8 and every time you look its diffrent. I turn back for the airport and the engine will quit completely and start again before I can hit the boost pump. I throttle back and land.

  I have 3/8 fuel lines and 1/2 vent lines and they are clean and worked great for 50 hrs. what do you think?

  I would appreciate any input.

  Richard
