Hey Jim,
Do you have a gascolator?
I have a gascolator and a Rotax fuel filter just before the pump and
haven't had a problem.
What was clogging the filter?

On the subject of fuel filters=2C after haveing to make an off field
landin
g in my Avid when a filter plugged up on me=2C (no damage except almost
to
my shorts LOL) I added a second filter in parallel to the other one. I
hav
e a fuel shut off valve that stops the flow through the second filter.
I u
se both filters for take off and climb=2C then close the second filter
off.
I don't have a fuel flow gauge=2C but if the engine ever starts to
miss
=2C the first thing I will do is open the valve for the second fuel
filter.
Almost all the flow goes through the first filter=2C so the back up
filte
r should be clear. Take care=2C JIm Chuk Avids=2C Kitfox 4 Mn

KFer's, What is the best sealant to use for fittings into worn threads on
the plastic header tank. I am using the red hard setting 3M pipe sealant. I
also have some black non hardening 3M. But, it is messy as hell to use. My
1st experience with it wasn't successful. I had it all over everything but
the threads and it didn't seal. In addition my post script has been Mod 3
582 Rebuild. N942EJ , "Its an airplane again" to quote my test pilot
yesterday after 1st flight. Exciting as Hell to see a
2 1/2 year total rebuild project rise from the ashes and take flight, even
if someone else is doing the flying.

Good going, Pat. It's nice to be able to change the signature isn't it?
I use Permatex sealer thta comes in a tube....it's a lot stiffer than
the brush-on stuff, and I'm pretty sure the container says "non-
hardening".

Best I've found after lots of trials is 2-part polysulfide sealant:

Hi Mark=2C yes I have a gascolator of sorts. The Avids have a small maybe
1 1/2 quart tank behind the seat that the wing tanks gravity feed into. I
t acts as a gascolator as the fuel line going out is about 3" up from the b
ottom and there is a drain on the bottom of the tank that sticks out the bo
ttom of the plane to get water and junk out of the tank that settles to the
bottom. I had bought this Avid after it had sat for about 7 or 8 years an
d was worried about junk in the tanks. I cleaned them out as good as I cou
ld=2C and then had filters between the wing tanks and the header tank. It
doesn't take much to plug a filter in a gravity feed system. I got about 1
5 hrs out of it before I had the unplanned landing. It's been about 3 year
s ago=2C but I think I did change out the filters once before the plugging
happened. After that=2C I mentioned it on the Avid list=2C and was told by
the factory that there should never be filters before the header tank. I'
ve since gone about 250 hrs with the plane without that problem. I was sti
ll worried about junk in the tanks=2C and that is why I came up with the se
cond backup filter. Never had to use it=2C but it's there if I need to. T
ake care=2C Jim Chuk Avids. Kitfox 4 (still building) Mn

| Subject: | Using a 912 alternator cover? |
My 912 did not come with a black plastic cover to go over the rear end
of the engine. Has anyone added one of these to their 912? Is there
any reason not to use one to keep dirt out, etc?
Advice most welcome
