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. -------- G-TERN Classic Mono Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=476909#476909 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:07:40 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Engine Over-cooling From: "carlp101" 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.

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.

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.
