Ed;
I'm just watching as I'm looking to use the PSRU on an engine for my
Aerocomp project. I've not thought to ask about the Mustang construction
practices, which I know little about. One question comes to mind as
I getting ready to put in the hard points for the fuel line fittings
in my tanks. How are they done on the Mustang?

Sounds like you've got things under control now. I'd recommend clear RTV to
adhere the plex to the skirt. Its a good sealer but is also a strong adhesive
for Plexiglas. Also it can be cut out if God forbid the canopy is broken.

Hi Larry!
Looking at your figures I agree. 2400rpm static should come out around M
.825 depending on temp. But as airspeed builds I would think M. no. should
as the airspeed vector is added. ( by sine to airspeed)? Does anybody know a
formula for this?

I have a 350 SB with tuned port fuel injection that I plan to use in my Mustang
project. Does anybody out there have any experience with fuel flow on such a
system? ( Constant pressure w/return ) I was hoping it would be possible to connect
the return line after the FF transducer, so the excess fuel is led back
to the pump.This would simplify the system, as it does away with a second transducer
and computer. I don't know if heat buildup in the fuel or other things
could be a problem.

Hi John,
The mustang tanks walls are honeycomb composite. I've found that the best
solution is to attaching any hardware is to bore through the general location
with a hole saw well oversized the actual fitting you are looking to install. For
instance, my fuel pickup fittings are -6 bulkhead fittings / dowty seals with
short tubes. So I hole sawed a 2.500" hole clean through the wall and then
cut out a piece of phenolic plate the same thickness as the honeycomb with an
o.d. of 2.500". Then put a -6 clearance hole in the phenolic insert in the
center. After this, I put the phenolic "patch" in the fuel cell wall cutout and
covered each side with 4 plys of glass out to about a 5.000" circle. After cure,
redrill the -6 pass throughs and sand the sealing area smooth, and you're
ready to put the fitting in place.

I used a similar method, using a hole saw, but stopped short of the
inner skin. A disk of phenolic drilled to accept the -6 AN fitting was
then epoxied into the hole, with a need to patch only the outer skin.

Tore,
Hi, long time no see.
I have my system set up just that way you are describing. I installed a
small (approximately one quart) header tank on the inside of the firewall
which is down stream from the FF transducer. The excess fuel from the fuel
pressure regulator on the fuel rails flows back to this header tank. You do
have to add a line from the top of the header back to the fuel tanks to vent
air that will accumulate in the header tank. I have a valve in the cockpit
that I open during my pre-takeoff checks and the return line has a clear
section where I can see it in the cockpit. I just open the valve and close
it when the bubbles stop flowing through the line. I really don't have to
open it on every flight as the accumulation of air in the header tank
appears to be pretty small.
I haven't had any problems with this setup, but I can't guarantee that there
are not potential problems that I haven't experienced.
Dennis
