Hi Roland.
Just my thoughts, i don,t think its a good idea to fill to the top every time as
you have fuel up large hoses which are in the cockpit so don,t think its a good
ides to leave fuel there , it may be OK as fuel is in the rest of the rubber
lines, but i would,nt.
My fuel gauge is useless 56 =35 lts, and i was flying around thinking all was well
, So for the time being why not drain the tank, and refill by 5 lts at a time,
and making a fuel chart, its a morning work but easy to do. Mine works well
have tested know it pretty accurate so feel much happier now.
One day i will get round to recalibrating the gauge or a new one.
Alan

Good morning Alan,
as you suspected not ideal indeed. Until I have something better (on my to do list
already), I feel best to know the total fuel quantity and calculate conservative
with 20 l/h and still have the reserve to my disposal.
Regards
Roland

Hi there all!
That has been addressed in a previous topic: fuel flow is the solution!
The Mod quoted is the LAA Mod 12209. (In the document some builders had said
which was that they had obtained adequate results by assuming the return
flow was constant and fixing the K factor accordingly)...

Hi Roger,
I had the same problem with my Europa - brown fuel stains from the roof fuel tank
vent all the way to the tail plane, this happens with full fuel to the
filler cap on the climb out.
The solution is to cut the fuel vent line where it passes the top of the filler
neck.
then, using AN fittings, connect the roof vent to the rear face at the top of the
filler neck, and the tank vent to the Fwd. face at the top of the filler neck.
Steve.

Hi Tim,
Mine was an XS, It did it from day 1.
Forgot to mention you need to Redux the AN fittings to the filler neck as you screw
then in.
Steve.

I now own Steve V's first Europa. The only trouble l had was entirely self inflicted.
I refuelled to top of filler on a cold day and lost a few litres out
the overflow when the fuel warmed up. Unfortunately the fuel attacked the edges
of my nice G-IPOD registration on the fuselage so they now curl slightly.
I now try not overfill unless l go flying immediately.
Incidently l am now in Switzerland working for Pilatus Aircraft. Does anyone have
the contact details of an Swiss Europa owners?
