Hi Rick, that is a very good point and next time I will test it out with a pan
of hot water and a thermometer to be sure. However both gauges (I have the
standard cylinder head temp gauge plus an actual water temp gauge) seem to be
pretty much in agreement and they seem to read sensibly at the hot end of the
range. On occasion during winter periods of no flying I have ground run the
engine with the rads covered, up to operating temperature, getting the oil up
to 100 degrees and the water gets up there too. Indeed a couple of years ago
during one such occasion I was careless and let the water boil over (made a right
mess!) and the gauges were both up to 120 degrees or so.

Hi Jon,
Regarding the heat take off from the radiators, I installed mod 10986 where a door
in the aluminium air flow ducting opens into the airflow coming through the
water radiator and directs it into the cabin via a scat hose. It works, but
it's not very effective when it's getting towards zero degrees. In hindsight I
wish I'd gone with the approach of taking the air via a jacket around one of
the exhaust pipes like most aircraft appear to do.
Regarding cooling, I lowered my water radiator so there is practically no gap between
it and the cowl. I also installed an oil thermostat. That combination provides
me with better cooling on hot days and seems to be fine in winter. I flew
at 9500' on the way back from Belfast a few weeks ago. It was -12 outside,
but my oil temp was 85 and water 65.
I hope you solve your problem.
Regards
Carl

Here's the aluminium elbow fitted to my plane. I just had to replace the joining
tubes with fluro lined versions.

No I haven't been up that high. However I had a 30" map climb from 0 to
12000' at mtow two days ago and no issues. Max temp was 225f.
The mechanical acts as a emergency system if you like. Mine has three
pumps altogether....two Bosch electrical and the standard mechanical pump.
There is also a return line from the fuel regulator. All my fuel lines are
firesleeved as well.
So the way I see it is that the mechanical pump would not provide take off
power at my airfield (8500) but would be sufficient to maintain altitude.
The mechanical pump alone provides about 27" so that should be sufficient
to take off at sea level.
All that said I use100ll exclusively.
The machical pump is cooled by a 1/2 hole in the cowling.

Ah okay. Being independent of electricity is an advantage for sure. But how
about vapor lock? Did you experience any in hot temperatures/high altitude
when running the mechanical pump?
I think in that regard the position of the two electrical pumps
behind/below the tank is optimal. I've been up to FL200 in summer with
Premium 95 car fuel without problems.
