REFLECTOR: Addresses

Mon Dec 6 06:52:11 CST 2010

All,

Many of you have moved from what we have in our database.  This makes
shipping parts difficult when I don't take the order at the office to get
the correct address on the package.  If you have moved since you bought your
kit / plane please email me and let me know so I can update your shipping
information.  Also, when you call in for a parts order please be sure to
make sure the address is double checked.  This will assure on time
deliveries.

Thanks,

John

Vendor?

It's a straight replacement.  A lot of folks are using it, though I think
the factory is still selling the floater (we had trouble with it bobbing at
high flow rates during climb and high altitude).  Apparently it's suseptibel
to ethanol for those running MoGas.

That looks great. Is that what the factory is using now and is it a straight
replacement or did you have to change the hard plate?

OK, guys, what have you done to cure the flickering? Replace the sending
unit? I have it too, though not often--no site gauges (yet).

If I rebuild mine the sensor will be lower.  Three switches and one
emergency precautionary landing on a closed overgrown 3000ft. runway after
descending at idle through three thousand ft. of undercast with ceilings of
700 ft. with my wife(a white knuckle flyer) in the plane all because of a
flickering low fuel light on my first long cross country afraid the engine
was about to quit.  I had sight gages but could not confirm feed to sump 550
hrs ago.

It is not too late to move the vent. Actually a good idea.

I know it may be too late, but if I were to do it again, I would put the
vent holes at one of the top corners.  The air bubble is not going to spend
much time at the middle.

Try to burp the bubble.  If that's gone, you won't have flickering.
Make sure your vent hoses do not have any dips (traps) below your max fuel
level.

I think your sender location is okay.

I am ready to close out my sump tank, but have a question on the location of
the low fuel sender hard point.

Per the plans, I located the center of the hardpoint 1.5 inches below the
top of the tank.  I notice that this places the center of the hole, at about
the same height off og the sump bottom as the fuel IN and vent holes.

I am toying with moving the sender down an additional inch to eliminate the
low fuel light from flickering.... If it is too near the top of the fuel
level.  
Am I wrong to believe that the head pressure from the fuel tanks will fill
the sump to the top?
