It fits in your fuel line easily and also provides warning of fuel pressure problems - something you need unless you've already installed a guage!

Has worked well for the last 6 years. Can't remember where I bought it but I think it was a marine store.

If so please let me have part number and method of attachment to fuel line. Thanks Mike Gamble XS 440 912S An alternative idea is to use a fuel pressure switch (Bosch do a suitable part).

I have one (for 1997) which has no mention of three wheels, so he's right.

Fred do not archive The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of 1666. **************************************************************************** ********************* The Scots raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards". They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the frontline in the British army for the last 300 years. **************************************************************************** *********************** It's not only the French who are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout loudly and excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides." **************************************************************************** ********************** New Zealand has also raised its security levels - from "baaa" to "BAAAA!". New Zealand only has one more level of escalation, which is "Shit, I hope Austrulia will come and rescue us". In the event of invasion, New Zealanders will be asked to gather together in a strategic defensive position called "Bondi". **************************************************************************** ************************* Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be right, mate". Three more escalation levels remain, "Crikey!', "I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend" and "The barbie is cancelled". So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level. **************************************************************************** ************************ Americans meanwhile are carrying out pre-emptive strikes, on all of their allies, just in case. **************************************************************************** ************************ ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 05:48:16 PM PST US From: "Kingsley Hurst" Subject: Re: Europa-List: oil pressure switch for engine hour meter > > Has anyone in UK fitted an oil-pressure switch to control when an engine > hours meter runs? If so, where did you get it? > Rowland, In the Europa Flyer Issue 62 Sept.2009 Page 7, Jonathan Milbank wrote an interesting article called "Logging Hours" I cannot vouch for the accuracy of it, but it would appear you may waste good engine hours by recording every moment the engine is running. According to his article, for the purpose of technical logs, engine and airframe hours are the elapsed times between applying full power for the purpose of taking off until after the landing roll is completed. Just a bit of food for thought ?

From: rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us Hi Alex Thx. for the reply. I was fooling tonight and voids are just too small to find by tapping. Heat seems the way to go. Once they appear best cut out when still warm because they are harder to find once things cool. Will probably go after cowl and doors as well.
