That was great first thing in the morning. Any way I could talk you out a few bucks worth of the sealant that is in the fridge? Guy, you are correct about the fittings. I am still learning my way around the plane and it's fancy part names. I just used words that were familiar to me and when I first looked at the part it resembled plumbing pieces I had worked with. The link to AC Spruce has helped a lot, that was the page I could not find doing searches. You guys are doing a wonderful job educating me, thanks. Funny story, on another site I once referred to a "rod end" as a "spherical bearing" because that is what we call some similar parts on our helicopters. A real snide jack@** jumped all over me and explained how it is of utmost importance that you always know the exact name of parts in aviation. He used to be an Army maintenance pilot and they ALWAYS used the right terminology. I then had to explain to him that I am an Army pilot and our maintainers call them "lollipops". You will find that I now try to describe a part in excruciating detail when I am not sure of it's name. :D -------- James Kitfox 3 / 582 / 70" IVO 2 blade GA 50 hrs on the Fox in between deployments, now she lies in wait Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=334678#334678 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:23:17 AM PST US From: "John W. Hart" Subject: RE: Kitfox-List: Re: Gascolator Well, I are a Army pilot (retired) and, an A&P mechanic as well, and I've heard all sorts names for things on aircraft that are far from the technical name of the part. Somebody please show me in the TM where the "Jesus nut" is listed by that name.

I think it looks cooler with the radial in this position. As cool as it looks I bet on the bike and the Kitfox. You might be wishing for a different power setup to actually fly or ride.

The sealant seems to be fine. Email me your address. I'll put some of the Dow 730 sealant in a plastic bag or bottle and mail it to you. When you get it, mail me a check for what you think it was worth to you. I don't remember who recommended it on this site. But I had the leaking tank out for the 4th time when I finally paid up and put the Dow 730 on. I see why it's $100 a tube...... Oh by the way, that ancedote wasn't an ancedote ... It was just the truth, every word. I don't know who said it but, "Truth is stranger than fiction". Pat Reilly Mod 582 Rebuilt Rockford, IL On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 7:19 AM, John W.
