    Subject: Fuel Pump Vent/Drain Line Routing
    From: "Paul M 383" <europaul383@hotmail.com>
    How have others routed a drain line from the replacement Corona mechanical pump? (SB-912-063UL free replacement). This is on a 912 ULS and standard XS Cowl & FWF. I used Tygon tube and found what I thought was a route avoiding heat sources etc - turned out not to be, when the tube caught fire after a ground run... this stuff is aviation grade: fuel, acid but not fire-proof! What have others done in their install please? Ideally send photos, or a clear description please. Thanks in advance!

    Hi Paul, Lucky you - yours was free :-) On my classic cowl, after looking it over and seeing hot stuff everywhere between the pump and the rear of the cowl, I decided to pop a hole in the cowl below the pump and redux in a small tube stub, sanded flush with the exterior. I then run silicone hose between the pump and the tube. On the classic I figure any fuel from a blown diaphragm will stream rearward along the outside of the cowl, hopefully missing the hot bits - that's the theory anyway lol Cheers, Pete On Thu, Jan 16, 2020 at 1:14 PM Paul M 383 <europaul383@hotmail.com> wrote: > > How have others routed a drain line from the replacement Corona mechanical > pump?

    oh, and for the classic owners out there, I also had to take my right side radiator to a local tig welder and have him angle the inboard outlet away from the new pump outlets, which were an interference fit against the rad hose. cheers On Thu, Jan 16, 2020 at 1:14 PM Paul M 383 <europaul383@hotmail.com> wrote: > > How have others routed a drain line from the replacement Corona mechanical > pump?

    I took a short piece of flex tube, 6mm fuel tube, and then interfaced with a piece of copper tube, you could use 6mm aluminium, to route past all the hot bits and then along the radiator ducts to rear.
