From: "graeme bird" my silicon water pipe, the port side, the bent one to the radiator, split today, thankfully I was over the strip and shut off. It had been in place for about 160 hours/3 years having moved the radiator back after nearly burning through the original one during test flying. I thought silicon would last forever but it seems to have stiffened. In fact I am coming to the conclusion that on shutting down the close exhaust causes the static hot water in the pipe to boil and pressure builds at this point. It is this that used to cause a small weep that others have seen. I blocked that with a hefty clamp long ago, so there is no release and the stiffening pipe finally split- a 2" clean rupture. So I shall change it each 100 hours in future and add some insulation around it. Perhaps I'll add a baffle in between and sleeve the pipe to prevent expansion. -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY Mono Classic/XS 912S/Woodcomp 3000/3W Newby: 150 hours 36 months on the Mono g(at)gdbmk.co.uk Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=440596#440596 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 03:14:33 PM PST US From: Kevin Challis Subject: Re: Europa-List: Re: Lack of space between exhaust and coolant hose. I moved the rad back as far as possible. Silicone pipe with silicone heat sleeve as well. It appears much better but it's only been just over a year.
