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. -------- 46 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=501743#501743 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 11:52:09 AM PST US From: Rowland Carson Subject: Europa-List: Fwd: Blue Foam I think this message should have gone to the list, not to me.

From: "rparigoris" 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. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ah1S270Nwg9VgdsaSGyQjBD4WiGEiw?e=BxfRYd Ron P.

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. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/categories/building_materials/bm/menus/cm/f oam.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.
