It might also be a good thing to collect a list of people in that situation, Any volunteers?, there are people who might be able to do something positive about this and the information needs to be coordinated. Alan, should people email you? Graham

I have seen it there before. According to one of the staff it is Keith Wilson's ! Apparently he "commutes" there in it, which probably means he lives nearby.

    Subject: Fuel Tank Connection Restriction....
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "R.C.Harrison" <ptag.dev@ukonline.co.uk> Hi! All. Fuel Tank Connectors and the restriction in the exit hole. Having removed the finger strainer gauzes I find that provided you do it in steps, at the right angle and depth it is possible to "back drill " the restriction away from the inside diameter of the connector up to 1/4" diameter. Then of course replace the gauze etc.!? I am making a permanent strainer gauze to fit into the aircraft filler neck from a JCB Tank Strainer Part No. P J122/98439 Spec/0 012663/STRAIN. It is smaller gauge gauze than that issued with my water drain kit. Costs =A313.30 incl . VAT. Available from the Dealers TC Harrison JCB Ltd. nation wide in the UK. The diameter is about 3" but after removing the top ring it is possible to reduce the diameter to the necessary 1.75" by folding the cylinder of Gauze. It then just needs sizing for length and the top expanding to close the filler neck and it sits in place and can be removed to check out for any caught debris. The PFA are considering this proposal. I will advise developments except it seems no one else has yet had the problem? Regards Bob Harrison G-PTAG Europa MKI/Jabiru 3300.

The idea I think is to catch stuff such as sealant or a chunk of gasket which may come loose inside the tank. For the Europa tank which has nothing like even a fuel quantity probe inside which can possibly fail to become blocking chunks of something, sounds OK I guess.

    Subject: Tygon hose
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Paul McAllister" <paul.mcallister@qia.net> Hi all, I have fabricated my own version of the Long Ranger tank system. I used tygon hose as part of the siphon system that is normally immersed in fuel all of the time. I found after 24 hours the hose had changed from clear to green and it was noticeably less flexible. I can't imagine that this is going to work long term. Has anyone had any experience with this material. Thanks, Paul
