Troy Thanks for your kind words. For your personal pleasure, I give you some photos even more: Couple of weeks ago, I spent with my 10-years old daughter Tuuli a whole week in Lappland in the point about 400 km (250 miles) behind The Polar Circle. That was Nuorgam. That is the northernmost point of The European Union. We were fly fishing lax from the river Teno (got one small one 3 kgs) and practising some gold panning (got all together 10 pcs of small gold "hippu" (that is a quite small but pure grain of gold). It took all together from Tampere EFTP to EFIV via EFKS and back 7 hours flight time and a bit over 900 nm. In Ivalo we met Jos O. and he kindly accommodated us and borrowed also a nice Renault to drive even to the Norther territories. Next time we are going to fly direct to Honningsvog in Norway, which is nearby Nordkap (which is said to be the Northernmost point in the Europa, but it is not. It is Mehamn nearby). By car - completing whole this journey - what an awful idea it would be. Europa is an ideal personal transportating machine for human beings for mid-range legs.

I suspect the O-ring is bad. Anyone know what size and type of O-ring that is? Thanks, Kevin XS Mono 914 320 Hrs ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:47:00 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: AVGAS UL 91 is Rotax 912 specific: Map of where sold in Fra From: "Remi Guerner" Hi Tim, It is important to understand that AVGAS and MOGAS use two different scales for their octane number. RON = Research Octane Number is used in Europe and some other countries for MOGAS. MON= Motor Octane Number is used worldwide for AVGAS. Here in France, unleaded Mogas 95 is 95 RON and 85 MON. Unleaded Mogas 98 is 98 RON and 87 MON. >From what you wrote, I assume this is the same in your country. Therefore, your Mogas 91 is probably 91 RON and about 81 MON. On the other hand, AVGAS 100LL is 100 MON, and the new AVGAS UL91 we available in France is 91 MON. ROTAX says the 912 needs 90 RON minimum, and the 912S and 914 need 95 RON minimum. So those flying behind a 80 HP 912 can almost use anything, but for the 912S and 914 do not use any Mogas below 95. The new UL91 AVGAS is a very good news as it offers additional margin against detonation, no additives which can damage hoses, gaskets, etc and a better quality control. Unfortunately the price is about 20% higher than the best Mogas.

No mention of maker's name or origin though I guess this is China. I ordered the pump yesterday and will report back on its performance when I have used it for a while. You will see that several other users are quite satisfied with the product.

Sounds like something best avoided if I want to finish my toy in the next 10 years. Good to hear it at least sticks better than the Poly Fiber Top Coat of a few years ago. Tony K probably still has nightmares about that.

I have two. The first one I found on Ebay. Had to put a toggle switch on it the first time I used it. The cheap rocker type fell apart. I reduxed an aspirin bottle top portion on top so I would have the cap there in case I needed to service the switch. Then I ran the wires down to where the original switch contacts were. The reason fuel runs down the outside of the shaft is that its a bypass port of some kind. The second unit was given to me by a former hangar mate. It is just an inch or so short of reaching the bottom of my 5 gallon can and haven't used it yet. In any case, I must still set the can on the wing cause I haven't tried to lengthen the hose yet. Probably won't pump as strong from the ground.
