Its going off site in fuel cans! Have noticed some stains on the floor at the side of my aircraft (from syphoning) over recent months, last weds I filled the aircraft for flight to top of the Cobra, I did not manage to fly that day due to a techie issue, on visiting the aircraft yesterday to sort out the techie (flat battery) I ran the engine for long enough to warm then refuelled and it took 20 litres, so it went somewhere, I looked under the seat to see if anyone had left me a payment but sadly not, still I did not issue them with any reward points either. Theft is not a pleasant issue particularly from within the hanger, I will be taking a few measures to try and sort this but the locking fuel cap is the first. Out of interest Europa do not keep them in stock and have a minimum of 2 - 3 weeks order wait list. rgds David Sent to you from David Joyce www.eastmidsspas.com From: graeme bird Sent: Monday, 18 March 2013, 18:28 Subject: Europa-List: Re: Classic Locking Fuel Cap urgent Maybe fuel does go off peak but my strimmer, lawn mower, generator and outboard motor have all run just fine on very old fuel - years old. -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY Mono 912S/Woodcomp 3000/3W Newby: 45 hours g(at)gdbmk.co.uk Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronicssp; -- > http://forums.matronics -Matt Dralle, List Admin.<====== No virus found in this message.

What is the best way of running the wires? I have the same system. I mounted the driver against the ceiling just behind the D-panel. There are several reasons for this: 1) In case of a fuel leak the fuel won't run into the strobe driver, 2) this allows for a symmetrical installation minimizing electrical noise: I have one straight cable from the unit to the tail strobe, and I have two cables running down on each side to the wing root. > Also, the cabling to the wing would require a quick disconnect at the > wing root. Any tips on what I can best use for this? I have a mill spec connector for each wing, the connector facilitates the strobes, nav lights, aileron trim, pitot heat, remote camera and some spare wires. I got these connectors at ebay.
