Dear Listers,
The upgrade of the Matronics Email Server can be considered complete at
this time. All known issues related to the upgrade process have been
resolved and email services are running normal. The Nightly Digest
processing has not yet been tested and will wait for tonight's update.
If you encounter any odd behavior with respect to the Matronics Email
Server over the next few days, please contact me via email at
dralle@matronics.com or if that fails try dralle@speakeasy.net.
Thanks to everyone for being patient through this arduous process of a
major system upgrade!

Folks:
I know there has been a lot of fuel over the dam on this one - in fact
that's why I'm posting.
As part of my progressive maintenance program on 11D [by which I mean I am
progressively draining my savings], we opened up the sump and I found
something I thought I would share. SB230A says to check for corrosion of
the magnesium sump. The sump installed in 11D did have corrosion, but
someone had "resined" over the corrosion with something [not sure what].
Perhaps more interesting, my serial number, 1256-80, is supposed to have
dams around the boost pumps and this sump did not. Below is a link to a
side-by-side photo:
http://www.kucheck.net/Aircraft/BothSumps2_low.jpg
You can see the corrosion and you can see that there are no dams. A better
look at the new sump with dams - this is a bladder's eys view:
http://www.kucheck.net/Aircraft/newsumpdams1_low.jpg
According to the parts manual, the dams are supposed to be in sumps for
500A's with serial numbers 871-1276, and 500B's with serial numbers
893-1276.
Does anyone know the purpose of these dams? They seem to be designed to
insure a head of fuel for the boost pumps, if somehow the sump is not
absolutely full of fuel at any given momment. Unporting in turbulence?
Or why mine would have been missing them? I guess one possibility is that a
previous owner found the original sump badly corroded and replaced it with
one from an earlier model.
Separate question: After putting everything back together today we found
some leaks around one of the pumps. What vendors work on these and might
have seals?
Pricing: apparently TCAC has not been moving these as fast as they would
like. The list on the sump I needed is $4,000. They have recently dropped
the price - I paid $1,700. I'm not sure what is reasonable, but you can see
reasonable from $1,700.
Lastly, after this week, I truly feel that Sump is mu Copilot.
