Pete, I really doubt that would work. You have to get between the lip of the rim
and the bead of the tire and you have to go in about 1/2 inch or so. Your
way the tire will likely fold over and the bead will not slide over the bead lock
ridge on the rim. A simple tool like I made works well. If you are unsure
just take to a ATV shop or make your own.

Subject: | Gas talk - Float plane trip |
Just got home form a 7 hour flight time float trip yesterday. I used Regular auto
gas or what ever i bought .- one Gas station , 3 marinas with pump prices
up to 1.69 per litre. I flew over sparse territory with nothing but swamps,
bush and lakes.
The other plane was a beaver ultralight with 582. he ran about 6000 rpm at average
of 68 mph and I ran average 80 t0 85 mph . I would throttle between 5200
and 5800 most of the time. My fuel flo meter was dead on showing about 13 to
18 litre / hour fuel burn. Everytime we landed at a marina his fuel consumption
was exactly 50% more than mine. First stop my bill was 87$ and his was 133$
--------- GO FIGURE.
Show that Kitfox on Aerocets is much cleaner than a Beaver with Full lotus. Plus
he takes 50% longer to get off the water.
Back to the gas, in Canada we are mandated to have ethanol gas rammed down our
throats. BUT - I had no issues with it once again on this trip or anytime.
Heck, I never used a chamois or filter funnel this time either and if anything
was there never a hiccup. Maybe my gascolator is full ?

Do you still have the header tank? I need one.

Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Header tank location
Pat,
I have an extra header tank, just like the one Lynn describes. I
bought it from Skystar about 5 years ago when my original tank developed
a slow leak around one of the brass fittings. Before it arrived, I
managed to cure the problem and it's been fine ever since. If you need
it, it's yours for the cost of shipping.
BYT: The "sump" drain in my Mod 2 is tee'd into the bottom hole
of the header. The other side of the T goes to the engine. Drain line is
3/8" poly with in-line hardware store brass ball valve, leading to a
fitting on the right side belly under back of passenger seat. The belly
drain fitting is attached through the fabric to a flush aluminum bracket
for reinforcement. Drain fitting is barbed on inside and has NPT threads
on outside so that I can attach a removeable, external drain line. Makes
it easy to quickly drain fuel into jerry cans after each flight. I also
have a superfluous gascolator which I have left in as the last line of
defense before fuel gets to engine.

Deke was kind enough to send it my way in exchange for some future
consideration....next-born son or something like that. : )
It's a Kitfox tank, made of some kind of cast plastic, with brass
bungs cast right in for all the fittings. My old tank was rectangular
all the way, but this new one is designed to be located right behind
the seat, and to that end has a slope on the upper forward surface to
clear the slope of the seat back.
On second thought, maybe I'm imagining those brass bungs being cast
in....better score me as not being sure of that feature. I know the
one on the side of the tank, like where you'd put an optical low-fuel
sender is a just plain threaded hole...plenty of beef, though.

Subject: | Re: Gas talk - Float plane trip |
Noel,
the point is that I fly a fair bit with gas yes GAS- Regular ethanol laced auto
gas. --And guess what -- it still runs .
I just look at the ethanol fear mongering as just from folks that are not sure.
? Heck, i not want it but I forced to use it and so far it works fine. Maybe
I will be eating my own foot soon but after 3000 Gallons of ethanol gas in my
Kitfox alone and no fuel issues and one engine that ran 500 hours and still ran
fine I cannot say that ethanol is a detriment to my flying.
Time to get your 912 running and put some hours on yours. I would use the same
as I have been.

Hey Travis. The sudden appearance of a couple of insanely low priced Kitfoxes on
Barnstormers right after mine means that I'll probably be hanging on to mine
for a while longer. If the weather holds then you can count me in. This is one
place I've been wanting to visit since I bought my Kitfox.

Subject: | Fuel line routing |
I have a Model 1 (532) with two 6 gal wing tanks and 1 one gallon
aluminum header tank mounted on the firewall. The fuel lines run out of
the wing tanks thru an on/off valve across to the other side behind the
seats down under the door and up to the top of the header tank on the
firewall. At times I notice air in the line as it comes out of the fuel
tanks. It also doesn't use fuel out of both tanks evenly even when both
valves are on. I just read an old service bulletin on this subject and
appears to me to be a problem. Also the header tank has a vent tub that
runs thru the firewall should this be open at all times or closed?? Any
help here would be appreciated
Thanks Dan Wild

Subject: | Anyone near Fort Capbell, TN? |
So here is the long and short of it. My wife and I are planning on buying a little
plane when we get home from Afghanistan and we have pretty well decided on
a Kitfox. Her airplane experience consists of a ride I gave her in a glider
and a ride my buddy gave her on a Dragonfly "Ultralight". So I would really
like for her to get to fly in a couple different light planes before we make this
commitment. Not to mention I would love to try out a KF to make sure it is
what I hope it is.
We will be home on leave in a little over a month and I would love to find someone
who would like to show off their plane for us. Everyone seems to be fanatical
about their Kitfoxes, one of the things that drew me to them in the first
place and I am sure we will both fall in love with one. If a nice lunch to sit
down and talk over helps the decision at all, that is by all means offered.
Thanks to anyone who would like to help us out with this.
