I use cheep Wal-Mart and Meijer utility batteries. I get a small 12 Amp battery and use it to start my 2180cc VW engine (most would consider this extreme service). These batteries need to be charged to 90-100% or the engine will not start. I keep the battery on the maintainer 365 days a year. It comes with a quick connect that gets permanently connected to the battery. I normally get three-fours years of service before I spend $25 large or so for a new battery. I notice even after flying when I connect the maintainer it will go to charge for a few minutes to bring it up to full charge (there is a short period of low RPM just before shut down where the battery discharges a bit). Before I started using the maintainer I would have to replace the battery every spring. I have never used the Harbor Freight float charges on a small battery but I have three of these. I put two on my boat and car in Florida for the summer and my farm tractor in Michigan in the winter. I had such good service with the Schumacher unit I just had to try the Harbor Freight (HF) units and at $5-$10 each it seemed worth a try. It is too soon to really say if I will get the same service. I have had the HF float charger on the boat battery for four years. After two years the boat battery died but it was 12 years old so? This will be the second summer on the new battery. I think it will also be three summers on the Florida car battery.

Exactly what I have, except my reserve tank is 1.5 gallons mounted behind the seat. Obviously gravity is enough to feed fuel to the lower tank far faster than the engine draws it; I'm just concerned with how fast gravity will push it past the float needle... I'll have to check; there's probably a spec for the required height when using the gravity flow needle. My interest in a 5 gallon tank is twofold: Reliability (no fuel pump), and the space currently occupied by the main tanks can be used as a small storage area. -Dana -- Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them? ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 10:40:03 AM PST US From: "Richard & Martha Neilsen" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: fuel system MessageMark It is too bad we feel that we will get blasted for sharing ideas. My first airplane, a Weedhopper that I built also, had the same fuel system. I never had any fuel system problems but I did have many others. If you have to have a top of the tank feed system I think the metal tube is a good idea. It isn't as likely to be hurt by the fuel. When I flew certified GA airplanes they all had bottom feed tanks with finger strainers, gascolators and drain valves. Low wing airplanes also had boost pumps because the tanks were low also. By trial and error certified GA airplanes evolved to be safer using these and many other standard systems. Yes aerobatic airplanes use top feed tanks with flop tube pick ups but is a compromise to keep from sucking air when inverted. There is nothing wrong with your fuel system in fact it is a improvement over systems some people have invented. I just feel that where possible we should try to try to take advantage of the lessons learned in the evolution of aircraft design. There are certainly reasons such as cost and aircraft configuration where you may want to deviate from these proven designs be aware changes are a compromise. The argument that bottom tanks using the rubber bushing system might leak is a concern but properly done most find them leak free. The down side of the the top feed tanks is that they have more potential (most never do but....) of a problem that would cause a forced landing. Weighed against a bottom feed leak that can be detected and fixed on the ground I would think the safer choice is bottom feed. My concern is that the chest pounding of some might lead others to follow a less safe design thinking it is the safest. The choice is yours.

The vertical distance from the tank to the carb on the setup you describe is very short, very probably not enough for RELIABLE gravity feed to the carb. Sounds like an accident waiting to happen, I hope you don't hurt yourself. The distance from wing tanks down to the bottom of the engine where the carb is on a certified airplane is 3 or 4 times the vertical drop, supplying much more pressure. So no, there is no comparison between what you propose and the system that Cessna, or other certified airplanes use. You and and Russ stated " Certified airplanes use gravity feed systems, so ... " There is really no comparison... Mike -------- "NO FEAR" - If you have no fear you did not go as fast as you could have !!!

It is nothing short of ridiculous to say YOU will have the best fuel system if YOU sit down and design it. That is emotional, feel good, but very dangerous advice that will get people hurt in airplanes. Jim may or my not capable of designing a safe fuel system, many people here most definitely do not have the knowledge to design a reliable fuel system . Just because YOU design it does not make it good or even safe. The correct and best advice here would be for Jim to build his fuel system to accepted aviation safety and engineering standards, not to sit down with a pencil... Accuracy means something to me. It's vital to my sense of values. I've learned not to trust people who are inaccurate. Every aviator knows that if mechanics are inaccurate, aircraft crash. If pilots are inaccurate, they get lostsometimes killed. In my profession, life itself depends on accuracy. Charles A. Lindbergh Its clear that Rick Girard is all about " Feel Good posts " and personal politics rather than giving good aviation advice.

Jerb, I have been using a little charger that was designed for charging sealed lead batteries. I purchased it from All Electronics Corp years ago. Currently they do not sell the one I have. The closest to it can be seen at: http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/BC-212/12VDC-500MA-2-STAGE-CHARGER-FOR-LEAD-ACID-BATTERIES/-/1.html I believe what you want is a charger that will top off the battery and then drop back the charge current to maintain a constant maximum voltage on the battery. This is called the float so that the battery is maintained at peak charge but not over charged. Jack B.

Yet no one said a word about it. When I responded to this post, the same few instigators very rapidly started complaining about my post. I have no use for Hypocrites that would apply double standards, and only want to apply the rules of posting to people they don't like. These same people that claim to be offended by my response have posted some of the worst and most vile attacks ever seen on this forum, but raise hell once I respond. How many of you would accept this type of behavior ? I certainly will not accept this behavior. I will never be intimidated by a bunch of hypocrites that only want to apply the rules to me, while they ignore the objectionable and vile things said by their friends to instigate these type of problems. These few people shown a pattern in starting problems the personal attacks, and then claiming I am to blame for their bad behavior. This has been going on here for years. Gangs feel real good when they try to bully one person with their numbers, and we have a little gang here that values gang type behavior over fair play, and equal enforcement of the rules, they are nothing more than objectionable losers that don't follow any rules, don't care about right and wrong. Many people see this behavior, and most just leave the list... Its no wonder this list is all but dead. This small group is more interested hurting this list more than they help.. The fact that they would try to steer readers away from good safe advice about their kolbs just because they don't like who posts it is nothing short of criminal. They put their own politics and agenda above your safety. What a nice, ethical, bunch of guys we have here...

Back on Maui my poor FireFly has been sitting in a field in the Hawaiian Home Lands. She was fo lded, on her trailer and covered with tarps. I placed desiccants in the intake and exhaust. But it's still going to be a job to get her airworthy again. At the top of the list is to repair an 11" tear on the top of the port win g. I have never worked with fabric. I tried to buy the Poly Fiber practice kit because (besides needing to practice), I figured it would have all the sup plies needed to patch the wing. All the suppliers (the usual suspects) I contact ed required $300+ to cover the HAZ-MAT for the flight to paradise. I called Poly-Fiber and they said they didn't have a distributor in Hawaii. Luckily (?), I inherited the remains of the supplies used to cover the pla ne in 1997... There is a jar marked Poly-Tack. It's slow moving but crystal clear, so I figure a little MEK will loosen it up and it will be OK... I have a small can of Poly-Brush that feels almost full. Also, there is a half full large can of Poly-Spray. Both Poly-Brush and Poly-Spray require Poly-Reducer... I have no Poly-Fiber Reducer... Question number 1... Is there a chemical, that I can obtain locally (Hawai i), that can be substituted for the Poly-Fiber Reducer? For color, there are two small cans of Poly-Tone, about a quarter full. I read that it may be reduced with MEK... No problem. There is plenty of Poly-Fiber 1.6 oz. fabric to make the patch. But I have no tape. Question number 2... May I cut my own tape from the 1.6 oz. Poly-Fiber fab ric? Any information or hints on this subject would be most appreciated. Thanks , ahead of time... Not finding what you want, living out of catalogs, making do and finding substitutes is all part of living at the far end of the technical food cha in...
