Many thanks for the advice, much appreciated - especially those who have told me
the Rotax drip trays don't fit with the carb heaters fitted - you've saved me
quite a few quid!!

Subject: Europa-List: Carb drip trays?


John,

There are two reasons for drip trays:

1. shielding the heat radiated by the exhaust pipes which may cause  
the fuel to boil in the carb bowls.
2. allowing fuel possibly leaking form the carbs to be drained below  
the engine, instead of being ignited by the red hot exhaust.

Although the normally aspirated 912 and 912S carbs usually do not leak  
(unlike the 914's which are leaking almost all the time due to the  
boost pressure) I think it is good practice to have drip trays  
installed that insure these two functions.

However I do not recommand to install the Rotax drip trays which bolt  
to the carb rubber flange as:
1. They de not fit with the hot coolant carb heat system
2. They do not allow to remove the carb bowl for inspection unless you  
remove the carbs, making servicing more time consuming.

One solution is to make your own aluminum drip trays and have them  
bolted to the airbox using anchor nuts for easy removal.

Hope that helps.

Remi
