| Subject: | 912S replacement fuel lift pumps |
Hi all,
I got a letter from Rotax recently telling me that I was entitled to a free replacement
lift pump for a 912S AC pump I bought to solve a problem in 2009. The
fuel pump fitted to the original engine began spitting out fuel (yes fuel),
from the oil vent hole underneath. On changing it from the original to a Rotax-supplied
AC pump, my fuel economy improved by about 1 litre/hr.
Anyway, I collected the new design/free pump on Friday and fitted it to the engine
over the weekend - but I envisage a fit problem with the cowling - as the
latest pump body is larger. It touches (only just) on the pump body - please
see attached pic. Wondered if anyone has had the same problem and what they did
about it please?

Dave=2C
I had the same problem on one of the three mod 78s I've done. I hate to sa
y it but since you are quite skilled=2C cut the fairing and save the piece
and make a door to look in. It's not structural and it makes life so much
easier.
As for the bushes=2C you bet it is a problem. To get a bit of clearance in
one aircraft we actually set the dihedral a tenth of a degree short to get
the bushes and the spars to clear.
You have my info on the rest of the rig problems.
Send your pics to my site for me to review. I have a completed set of wing
s that I have to retrofit to a different aircraft. Not excited about it bu
t I'll keep folks posted.
Best Regards=2C

he holes up to 7/8 inch for the bushes. They are a fairly tight fit. I thin
k there should be some slop in there to allow resetting of the dihedral.

Frustrating.

ke the added BID that is in the upper corner of the tunnel has some high po
ints that are contacting the spar and preventing the aft pin on the fuselag
e side from going all the way in=2C due to the spar not being quite all the
way forward. I hope so=2C because I don't know what else it could be. The
difficulty is that it is difficult to see what is going on in the tunnel an
d the wing root fairings prevent seeing what is going on with the sockets -
especially the forward one. Not looking forward to reaching in there and s
anding and sanding and sanding.

thermostatically controlled heater=2C I am able to maintain a range of 120
to 125F. That is measured by a meat thermometer at spar level in the box.
It can also ramp up the temperature like prescribed.

Clive=2C
I have installed two of the pumps and had no problem with clearance on the
cowl. I have not seen your pics. Could you please forward them to my pers
onal site: budyerly@msn.com.
The new pump has a different flow rate and higher pressure. Lockwood Aviat
ion (Local Rotax Dealer) cautioned me about the higher pressure to the 912S
carbs=2C but our fuel pressure is still below the 5.8PSI max. Your liter
per hour seems like a very large improvement in fuel economy. Check your E
GT and temps in that it may be leaning on you a bit. A line may be pinched
or clogged.

I know I must be getting close. As I am planning final vinyl graphics.
Does anyone have a blank outline of the fuselage?
