I figured if anybody knew, they would. Have 601XL, and am placing gascolator and fuel pump on outside, lower right firewall. Bingelis speaks about putting a aluminum or galvanized cover over these to prevent vapor lock. Has anybody on the forum had any vapor lock issues with 3300 due to heat? thanks, Mike -------- Mike Miller @ millrml@aol.com 601 XL, 3300, Dynon Remember, "the second mouse gets the cheese"!

None, and my gascolator is in the same place on an HDS. No shielding - though if it makes you feel better go ahead and install one. One of Tony's books has a great diagram and a picture of a heat shield on a Piper a/c. I often run auto gas too, FWIW. jeff HDS/3300 340 hours ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:27:44 PM PST US From: Kayberg@aol.com Subject: Re: JabiruEngine-List: Vapor Lock potential with 3300 In a message dated 1/20/2009 2:21:54 P.M.

Has anybody on the forum had any vapor lock issues with 3300 due to heat? thanks, Mike -------- Mike Miller @ millrml@aol.com 601 XL, 3300, We are a build center for the fabulous Arion Lighting...which is associated with USA Jabiru. check _www.greenlandings.com_ (http://www.greenlandings.com) for video, chose the Owners Gallery. Of the 50 or so Lightnings flying, I know of none with vapor lock problems....and no cover over the gascolator or Facet fuel pump. They are tightly cowled and have both gascolater and boost fuel pump mounted on the firewall. The engine fuel pump and the carb are mounted rather low on the engine. They are the first to receive cool air on the ground. In flight there is plenty of air moving around them. I would ignore Tony in this case.

We never had a vapor lock problem and had several takeoffs over 100F. If you wish I can email you a picture.
