> I sold my Velocity.  The  new owner experienced a total failure of the
> fuel servo. He was flying at 10,500 feet when the engine (Lycoming IO360)
> just totally quit.  Luckily he glided to a nearby airport and landed
> safely.
> 
> I am very surprised that there would be a total failure - no fuel was
> being delivered by the servo. A check of the mechanical and electric fuel
> pumps shows normal fuel pressures.  The fuel tanks are 3/4 full on both
> sides.  The mechanic rigged up a fuel hose and injected fuel directly into
> the servo throat and the engine ran. Pull the fuel hose out and the engine
> quit.
> 
> Any one know enough about the Bendix fuel servo to know what could happen
> to cause a total fuel flow disruption?
