Hi all,
Can someone tell me when the tank drains down to empty on one side leaving only
the reserve left, on what side is the reserve fuel sitting, assuming that the
fuel selector is on "Main".
Thanks, Paul

Hi All,
The ''Main'' tank is on the Port side, [with the sight gauge plumbed in that side],
the ''Reserve'' tank is on the Starboard side [with the return line from
the engine plumbed in].
Cheers,
Nev.

My main tank is port side, reserve Starboard, (under the filler so it
fills first I guess).

Hi! Paul.
Since it is best to ensure the reserve side is allways full it is on the
"filler" or starboard side. However a point to remember is that if you
happen to put any water or dirty fuel in it is most likely to all settle in
there, rather than "jump" the tunnel ! (that would be just great should you
have needed to switch to reserve only to pick up water !) So it is
imperative to do a substantial water drain check on the STARBOARD side. Also
occassionally switch to the reserve side when established in the cruise
after filling to prove the supply.
regards
Bob H G-PTAG

Robin-
I was going to pass your e-mail over to my wife, Lynne, but if she ever was
asked if I "let" her fly, she would go into orbit. There are a number of
things I don't "let" her do, but she does them in spite of it, including
building the plane. Kidding aside, you'll find a number of wives involved,
some of them pilots and builders.

--> Europa-List message posted by: "Bob Berube" <bberube@tampabay.rr.com>
Dear Fellow Builders and Enthusiasts,
It's that time of the year with the Sun n Fun Air Show nearly here. Flight
Crafters is again planning their Annual
Open House for Thursday April 15th between 5 and 8pm. Food and beverages
will be served.
Last year was a huge success with many builders and wanna be builders.
Several "in progress" projects will
be available for viewing with staff available to answer builder questions.
We encourage an RSVP via -e-mail off-line to give us an idea of how many to
have enough food available.
Hope to see all of you again and look forward to seeing new faces.
Regards,
Bob Berube

Gidday,
I am sure that in the interests of safety, fueling should always be above the
saddle. If you take off with fuel in the main side below the saddle, and believe
the
reserve to be full, well how do you know after your last flight that the turbulence,
landing etc didn't put a significant amount of the reserve into the main, by
splashing over the saddle. If you always fly with a minimum of fuel that ensures
the saddle is always covered, well your fuel state pre departure is always known.

Paul,
Now that you know the answer to your question there is one important fact to
remember. If you run a fuel return line (the one that contains the orifice)
into the reserve side, then you will be continually refilling that side even
once the fuel level drops below the saddle. This insures you have a full reserve
in spite of turns, rough landings, and turbulence.
