About 980 hours on this setup, when I decided to add front ports to the tanks (13 gallon original Kitfox), which I did by building up the front area with fiberglas, drilling and tapping to 3/8 NPT, and installing the usual finger strainer and another straight fitting, albeit at a *slight* up-from- horizontal angle to clear the rib in that area. Another 100 hours on the combined 4-port system, and no problems.

I have mentioned in earlier posts that I am going to re-do the fuel system in my Fox once I get home and that is one of the things I am going to change. I am just now remembering that I did not put that on the list of things that I JUST ordered from the McBeans, I wonder if I can get to them before they ship. To those that have the header behind the seat and use this as the lowest point in the system; How low do you have it on the seat? For those of you that use this tank as the "gascolator", how do you get your sample, do you have it close to the floor so you can get a fuel sample from under the aircraft or do you have to reach behind the seat and risk a spill in the tail? Do you then run the fuel lines under the doors? I think this may be how I would like to set mine up. Sump through the bottom fabric and fuel under the door, I already have a gascolator on the firewall so I may just leave that one.

My flying model 1050 has a custom aluminum tank that has a fitting on the bottom, connected to an aluminum line going to a drain valve mounted to a hard point in the belly of the plane just behind the pilot's position. ( I think intended to mount the elt antenna) My Classic IV has the factory poly tank which had a valve mounted right to it on the bottom. Then a large tube down to the fabric. The tube looked to me like a piece of automotive radiator hose, large enough to fit the sample container inside of it to reach up to the valve. I didn't like the look or operation of this, so I will be doing something similar to my other plane, "remote mounting" the valve on the belly of the plane. -------- Thanks, Av8r3400 Kitfox Model IV-1200 W/912UL & IVO Kitfox Model IV-1050 W/912UL & Warp Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=331011#331011 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:51:25 AM PST US From: Lynn Matteson Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Re: Gascolator As low as it can go, and the sump drain is poised just above the bottom fabric.

However the bottom of the tank is flat so a little moisture could lurk in it... not enough to flood my gascolator though. The beauty of my system is the regardless of whether my plane is sitting on three wheels, tail low or up on its floats my gascolator is always the physical lowest part of my fuel system. I was thinking about all the guys who told me they like being able to see the fuel run through their clear cartridges in the cabin. Well a drip loop of clear tube will do the same thing.... better than that a glass gascolator in the lines from the wing tanks to the header will be even better because it would give you the option of another clean out if you do happen to see any gunk coming down the line. A gascolator also doesn't have a any paper which can expand with water and block fuel flow. It is true that if you are using ethanol contaminated fuel your paper filters should never get water wet except in the case of a phase separation which will stop any engine... filters or not. I really don't want to get started on the evils of ethanol again. Suffice it to say I'd like to see everyone lay it on the powers to be whether or not they want to fly, drive or boat on that fuel. Remember it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. I've flown in and worked on several kinds of Cessna, Piper, Lake, De Havilland and homebuilt aircraft and none of them ever had a paper filter near the fuel system. I don't think I would feel nearly so confident in my plane with a filter that could quickly block the flow of fuel. The gascolator however will screen anything that could affect the engine without the same blockage issues.

The bottom of the plastic tank is 2" above the fabric. My header tank is behind the passenger seat bulkhead, not in front as Kitfox designed it, and as close to the right side of the fuselage as the level fitting will allow. (My fuel level indicator is in the side.) Having it behind made it easier to run lines. > For those of you that use this tank as the "gascolator", how do you get your sample, do you have it close to the floor so you can get a fuel sample from under the aircraft or do you have to reach behind the seat and risk a spill in the tail? The quick-drain pierces the fabric just as it does in the wing tanks. I have a 2" aluminum tube extension from the tank to the drain. > Do you then run the fuel lines under the doors? Single 3/8" aluminum fuel line runs around the passenger seat to the right and then back to centerline. Don't know why I did it that way, except to make it easy to mount and service the mondo automotive fuel filter I use. It was also pretty crowded around the flap and elevator control rods and bungees. (Yes, I still use bungees.) If you don't use bungees I'd run the fuel right up the middle.

Unfolded the wings and topped the tanks. Calm when I left, but it got bumpy about a half hour out. Really rough over the desert. I wasn't having fun anymore, so I turned around and went home. Back on the ground I noticed that the left tank was still completely full and the right one was half empty. I didn't notice during the flight because I knew the tanks were all full, and the sight gauges are hard to read in the bright sunlight. Even harder to read without bright sunlight. Anyhow this was unusual because the left tank normally feeds much faster than the right. I first thought the filter was clogged, but it turned out to be the fuel line. It was crimped between the wing and the fuselage. Not at all obvious, took me a while to figure it out even looking right at it. So I was really lucky. If I hadn't turned around I almost certainly would have had a forced landing when the right tank went dry. In fact I felt so lucky that I immediately went over to my local casino and put $100 in the slot machines. Lost every penny. Bottom line, I learned two important lessons that day: 1. Check the fuel lines before takeoff. 2. Don't gamble.
