REFLECTOR: FUEL FEED & Vents--blinking warning

[Alex Balic]

IF you have a float type sensor, it may be partially flooded, - Gems makes a
no-moving parts level sensor that will screw right into the same hole that
should not cause the same problem.

  Sometimes my light comes on at high altitude.  Sometimes it stays on for
up to an hour.  Sometimes during that hour it will occasionally blink "off".
Sometimes it just blinks on occasionally.  Sometimes it doesn't come on for
several months.  It never comes on when I am at low altitude.  I'm thinking
of re-labeling it as a warning that O2 is needed.

     I have a question that may be related to venting.  At high altitude
(10,000 or so) the sump low fuel warning light occasionally blinks on and
off. There is no other indication of low fuel, plenty in the mains and no
fuel starvation indications of any sort. This has happened only twice in the
hours I have flown, and as soon as I return to a lower altitude there is no
problem. The sump low fuel sensor is located in the front, top center of the
tank, about 1 1/4" below the top in the position called for in the builders
manual. I suppose that the higher nose attitude resulting from flight at
this altitude may result in this condition, but I would like to hear other
thoughts. Bob Wood
