Just for information, I've been in conversation with Karen at the factory and apparently
the 'no objection' letter is all that is required from the LAA for Europa
to be able to sell these (at last). I understand it's imminent . . .

Oops, gave you a bum steer there - the factory are working on a replacement fuel
filler solution for the extended baggage bay, replacing the rubber pipe with
large bore metal pipework and fluoro-lined silicone rubber end connections.
This is because the supplier of the poly filler moulding has 'lost' the mould
- meaning there is currently no XS/extended baggage bay filler solution. But
as i said, I believe its imminent . . . Dave Goddard at the factory is working
on it.
BTW i still have the original rubber rubber filler hose (made in January 2001)
which i won't use for the above reasons. Although its 15 years old it is unused
and there are no signs of perish or cracking. I also have the original/untouched
engine cowling halves . . .

Greetings All!
With a few replies coming in and the desire to align the Engineering meeting
with a Forum that Bud is organizing, I'd like to propose Thursday.
More details to follow shortly!

Subject: Europa-List: Re: batch of classic fuel filler pipes being made
[quote="graeme bird"]I am thinking of getting a batch of aluminum fuel
filler pipes made for the classic to replace the rubber trunk.
Hello to all, I would like to replace the rubber fuel hose on my Classic.
Can anyone give me information about the 13070 mod regarding possible
suppliers and if anyone is interested in changing their's to get a batch
price please let me know?
I am based in Grenoble, France
Regards
John

| Subject: | Fuel Tank moved!! |
Mike,
It is possible that the tank will shrink a bit if the fuel is offloaded,
possibly causing the outlet rubber hose to move up slightly, and contact the
torque tube. This happened to me, anyway.
If tank had significant fuel in it, then it might be something else causing
the problem..
Regards,
Greg

Subject: Europa-List: Fuel Tank moved!!
After 4 uneventful flying seasons I have been carrying out the annual
inspection prior to the 5th.
The aircraft had been garaged for 3 months with wings and tailplanes removed
and the fuselage supported on dummy spars with wheeled supports.
On checking the controls a rubbing sound was evident on moving the stick
fore & aft and this was traced to contact of the Pitch torque tube CS10 with
the rubber hose
securing the port side Tank outlet fitting. Stb side clearance is just
adequate.
This is very strange as I don't recall any possibility of this happening
during construction so a reasonable clearance must have existed then.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Can the tank have moved UP?
What is the fix?
Comments and advice please.

Thanks for your input Greg.
I had drained the tank which very possibly moved it up a bit but I would not
like to think of this happening in flight.
Did you measure the clearance from your torque tube with and without fuel?
How on earth can I increase this clearance?
The manual just gives a suggested 2cm distance tank to floor.
Maybe this will generate some more response from the forum.

Does anyone know what the torque on the binx nuts which are used for the
