Don,
Thanks for your report on the fuel lines! I replaced mine with fuel
injection lines about 6 months ago but now I will watch those even more closely!
I have a primer on my 912 and I was thinking that perhaps this could have
been used to keep the engine running in the situation you described. This of
course would depend on where the clog occurred. I also have the Northstar
fuel flow gauge down stream of my primer. My thought was if that should cause a
stoppage and I was fast enough I could keep the engine running with the
primer. I have had to do this on one occasion with a production aircraft.
Well, it is "curtains" for us in NW Florida. All of the gas stations have
gone to gasohol except one. Many of the people at our field made a rush on
the one remaining station (independent) and you would have thought we were
having another hurricane!
Just postponing the inevitable. I guess after reading all the discussions
here I will use the gasohol (vs avgas) and keep a close watch on my tanks
and lines.

Subject: | Re : Don's fuel line |
Thanks for the info Don. I have heard about that problem before. I was
told that the mil spec line is swelling inside but I din't imagine it
could almost shut completely. I think this is very important info to all
uf us still using the original mil line. I went to the auto parts to get
the injection 3/8-R9 hose this morning.I'll replace the smaller ones
also.
