Blue foam i believe is known as xps ...this is available at the big home
improvement stores here in the usa.
Can anyone confirm this?
I have used this for small project like air scoops and seat supports and it
certainly seems close to the europa supplied blue foam.

Very true Rick,
We colonials have lot of experience with fuel vaporisation, temps of 45C + (in
the shade) are all too common.
In my opinion one of the Rotax 91's (carburettor variants), very few, design anomalies,
is the routing of fuel lines over the top of the engine. Not usually
a problem in flight, due to plenty of fuel/ air movement BUT definitely something
that requires good management, after engine shut down, subsequent start up,
taxi, run up, take off & climb out on a hot day.
Have no modifications (other than insulating/lagging for partial assistance) to
suggest - its all about awareness & management.

I think this message should have gone to the list, not to me. I do not
have any need of blue foam, but thanks for the offer, Jim.

Hi Group
No aeroplane work done this past Wednesday. Well at least not done at hangar!
Fdale home decided to "LEAK"!
Water in bathroom, hallway and kitchen? Couldn't EZ determine where it was coming
from. Ripped out sheetrock from under sink and behind dishwasher and found
malady.
Major job to rip out entire wall and replace all plumbing. Real jigsaw puzzle.
Went after pipes with 50 and 80 grit sandpaper, Carbide tipped scribe and Denatured
Alcohol. Then pre-bent expanded Aluminium with Fiberglass scrim and is self
adhesive to holes, then filled with JB KWIK Weld.
Had electric heater warm things up. Then put fillet of Flox in corner of junction
of pipe to female fitting flange. Then 4 BID. The BID goes completely over
the flanges. One flange is a hex and BID conformed perfectly.
The small pipe to right had a Copper pipe laying against it, so it was surgeon
skills working with an inspection mirror.
Pipe to left is about ~13" long and some of it is hidden behind wall, rot was only
~ 6" long but went full length from flange to flange.
Hoping this is a permanent fix.

Will,
Yes, dense styrofoam is something you can get at a hardware or home
improvement store in the USA. Extruded polystyrene insulation (XPS) is
manufactured using a process of extrusion, and has a closed cell
structure. As an example, Dupont Styrofoam=84=A2 Insulation (Blue
Board) is a nonstructural, rigid board insulation manufactured of XPS
foam. Since it is insulating material for buildings, you can buy it in
bulk - truck (or lorry) loads if you=99d like.
All you need is some foam dense and rigid enough to hold the shape you
want, and to be smooth enough so the resulting fiberglass surface will
be smooth too.
XPS should work.
However, if you want, you can also get styrofoam from places like
Aircraft Spruce, but it is a bit pricey. They have large cell and small
cell versions of the stuff.

oam.html
<https://www.aircraftspruce.com/categories/building_materials/bm/menus/cm/
foam.html> (They probably just buy it from Home Depot and mark up the
price.)
I would expect the folks at Aircraft Spruce could ship it to the UK, but
I don=99t know for sure.
For what it=99s worth, I have some leftover chunks of blue foam,
but I am in the USA.

Jeff W.
