I would not use a non-fuel rated hose in a fuel contact application just asking for problems. -------- 46 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=501091#501091 ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 04:05:55 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Blocked Fuel Filters From: "Griffo" Its sounds obvious but contaminated fuel filters can only come from two sources: 1. The fuel being put into the aircraft tank (Fuelling/External) 2. (Internal) The aircrafts own fuel storage (tanks) and reticulation system (fuel lines & pumps) 1.Fuelling/External I rarely if ever find material in my filters always visually checked at 50 hrs and cleaned out at 100 hrs. Ever since owning my own aircraft, I have used a filter funnel when fuelling my aircraft, at home and on away trips. I made my own using special fuel filter fabric & an off the shelf funnel but you can purchase a Mr Funnel to achieve the same benefit. I only purchase name brand fuel, from high turnover fuel stations minimal chance of contamination so far so good. I use plastic 20 litre fuel containers obtained cheaply from my local hardware. They are only used for my aircraft (ULP) so contamination can only come from the bowser. There is nil risk of paint, rust or condensation (as long as they are well sealed). As I have aged, I have found it increasingly difficult to achieve a controlled pour out of a 20 L container held at shoulder height, so have built a 12 V, positive displacement, vane transfer pump, using a cheap Chinese Holly copy and fuel rated piping (almost identical to that shown by Oliver above). Very efficient, self-priming and with good head for high wing applications. Fuel cap must seal against rain/dew replace O rings/seals at 5 years. If you are putting in clean fuel, the chances of filter contamination/blockage are reduced by almost 100% 2. Internal Internal contamination can only come from deteriorating fuel lines, pump systems and tank. I always use ethanol rated, Gates Fuel Injection hose for my fuel lines and am religiose about the 5 year replacement. New hoses must always be blown out, with compressed air, to remove any particles/dust, insects, etc, just before fitting never had a problem. I have almost nil experience with metal fuel lines so wont comment. Fuel pumps can deteriorate over time but in 12 years & 920 hrs, I havent seen any evidence of this happening. Plastic fuel tanks and bladders have been known to shed particles usually when new, anecdotally also when ethanol is present always check filters for evidence of this starting. In my opinion, if this happens, the only safe solution is replacement with a more durable tank. Alloy tanks are prone to condensation I havent used a Gascolator since leaving GA, however I do my drain checks before the first flight of the day. Even the suspicion of water and I repeat drain, until sure none remains. Water in my filters & filter funnel is also something I look for - I rarely see it. -------- 46 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=501094#501094 ________________________________ Message 11 ____________________________________ Time: 04:09:17 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Vents From: "Griffo" Check out the NACA Vents from Peter Anson -------- 46 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=501095#501095 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
