I am set up similar to David, I have the smallest 'Mr Funnel' and use a small length
of para cord to tie to passenger lift strut.... Very secure. At the hangar
I have a 'waggle side to side handled pump', but on trips just carry a plastic
Jerry and my funnel and do the filling with good old fashioned brute force....
Hmmm, as I'm not getting any younger, perhaps one of those battery pump thingies
might be worth a look :-)

I have used a polarn oump for a number of years. The pump attaches to the t
op of a jerry can and you use a hand air pump to pressurize the jerry can.
Integral tube goes through jerry can fitting from base of can to europa fil
ler. Takes quite a lot of pumping to get the fuel transferred - probably 1
- 2 mins per 20l can.See here:

Hi All,
I'll be trailing my a/c back to my hangar ( big shed ) soon
for some maintenance. the five year hose replacement is due early 2014
so I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and carry out the hose
replacement at the same time.
now a couple of questions, I'd like to use the same spring clips on the
water hoses that Rotax use. so where can I get them and the tool needed
to do the job ? secondly does anyone supply a full kit to change all the
hoes fuel/oil/ water. or do I have to order them seperately?

David, you might be interested in the following news item;-
Contaminated fuel caused Cathay A330 incident
By: <http://www.flightglobal.com/landingpage/mavis%20toh.html> MAVIS TOH
SINGAPORE
3 hours ago
* Print <javascript:window.print()>
Fuel contamination has been confirmed as the cause of a double engine
malfunction on a Cathay Pacific Airbus A330-300 on approach to Hong Kong
International airport (HKIA) in 2010.
In a final report released on 4 September, Hong Kong's Civil Aviation
Department (CAD) says that 24.4t of contaminated fuel was uplifed into the
aircraft at Surabaya's Juanda International airport. This caused "stiction"
- static friction - in the fuel metering unit of both engines, leading to
the total seizure of these components and the loss of thrust controls of the
aircraft during approach to HKIA.
It found that though the aircraft was uplifed with the proper grade of fuel,
it was contaminated with super absorbent polymer (SAP) spheres. During the
flight, some SAP spheres were trapped in the fuel metering unit on both
engines, causing stiction in the unit that resulted in engine pressure ratio
fluctuations.
Moral- don't trust airport fuel pumps. I still use my Mr Funnel even when I
uplift from aviation pumps.

Brian

Hi Danny,
Conair sports will supply a complete 5 yr rubber replacement kit - excluding
the Europa fuel lines which you will need to source separately.
Its not cheap but if looking for a one stop solution this is the way to go.
http://www.ekmpowershop2.com/ekmps/shops/conairsports/5-year-standard-replac
ement-package-912ul--912uls-engines-only-359-p.asp
The list price is about 500 but If you source the items separately you can
get the job done at half the cost.
The carb parts (eg: diaphragms) are standard Bing as used on BMW
motorcycles. I can find two stockists in the uk - http://www.motobins.co.uk/
\ and http://www.motorworks.co.uk/ . If you source the diaphragms from
these suppliers make sure they are the genuine Bing ones as they also sell
cheaper nitrile ones which are claimed to be superior (but arent - for
reasons I won't go into).
Kevin Dilks may be able to help you with some parts. He is a Rotax engineer
but NOT the official UK agent. He has worked for Rotax in Austria and knows
where they source most of their components from. I believe he would also be
able to supply a 5 yr kit but have no idea regarding cost.

Brian, I should perhaps have added 'This side of

fantastic GA airfield of Buduors, came out a horrible
yellow colour and you could imagine lumps in it too. But
the policy has worked well for 12 years.

Mine's an XS also.
Large Oblong shape funnel with a spout that has been cut so it's about 3
in long. Hooks into the filler and stays in place. Not upright admitted.
Can has a spout fixed to it. Pour fuel from can without resting on
funnel and don't overdo it, aim direct for funnel filter and try not to
overfill funnel use a constant flow of fuel.

Yeah, I have seen them too. For some purposes they could be fine.
However I just use regular switches for almost all low power purposes.
In the case I need relays (like for high current devices) I like to use
real relays instead of SSR's. Look at the heat sink these SSR's have.
They are there for a reason. The reason is voltage loss (and subsequent
heat production in the relay). And one of the reasons you use a relay
instead of a switch is to eliminate voltage loss due to lenghty wires.
So these SSR's negate their own purpose in some way.
I use regular car relays for high current switching purposes. Our
aircraft see much daily less use than cars, and if these relays are fine
for daily use in a car, they should be fine for an aircraft as well.

I need to get the camera out through the perspex, fed up with reflections spoiling
the shots. I looked at it a while back and I recall someone had a template
for cutting out a glider style opening (Pete Jeffers?). I would be interested
to know how hard it is to cut the perspex, whether you use the existing flap
or it comes with its own? Where I can buy them from?
Is a down flap best or slide? And where best to put it for strength and camera
access.
The cooling would be a help too.
Thanks

Hi Fred,
I did use one of his SCS switches about 6 or 7 years ago as my main
contactor (not starter relay). My main attraction was that SCS does not
have a hold in current and as you are aware the Rotax alternator is fairly
weak.
If worked okay for about 18 months and then one day the engine kicked back
while it was cranking and it destroyed it.
I think his new product has a much higher current rating, however I still
do not know if it is robust enough for this application.
In your case it solves problems you don't have and creates new ones. :)
Regards Paul.

Hi Raimo
You mentioned:
Notice:
- Adding one-way-valve to the fuel return line
(idea by Frans Veldman) is a great must (and
mandatory at least for me).
Can you elaborate a little on why you might want to put a one-way-valve
on the fuel return line? Is this for a 914 fuel system?
Thx.
