Hello George, I'm going to take your advice and install a fuel return
line. I don't have a filter between the mechanical pump and the carb. Its a
straight line. Should I attach the return line before the mechanical pump or
after it? I use two facet pumps, one from each fuel tank to keep positive
pressure to the mechanical pump. Jim Williams

The Pitts Model 12 web site has a basic fuel system layout that should work
for the Moose. You can get to it at www.jimkimballenterprises.com and look
under the Pitts 12 side.

Subject: MurphyMoose-List: Moose style fuel system diagram needed
Giday George. Do you know if anyone has a diagram of an appropriate fuel
system for a
homebuilt similar to a Moose ? My Fairchild will have three tanks leading to
a common
manifold and then on to the gascolator etc., but I'm not familiar with the
Huosai system needs
after the gascolator. I'm thinking it must be very similar to the needs of
an M14P. I've appealed
to two lists for help with this but to no avail. I'd sure be willing to pay
for a diagram. I'm not sure
if I need a debubbler and I'm not sure if the pressure carb has it's own
relief for excess fuel/
vapour or does that have to get built into the fuel supply just before the
carb ? I hear it is a good
thing to use an aux electric fuel pump for backup and prime and would like
to build that in. I don't
plan to do any flying inverted or such. Thanks.

I have to comment on the fuel system design for the Moose.There has been at
least one accident that can be traced to a poor fuel system design. When
designing the fuel system please bear in mind that the pressure carburetor
is like a throttle body injection system. there is no float bowl or and
storage of fuel in the carburetor. One drop of air and it is like turning
the magnetos to the OFF position until the air is worked through the engine.
Worse yet if there is a slug of air it can cause the mechanical fuel pump to
cavitate and the fuel pressure to drop. It is called a pressure carb because
it requires fuel pressure to work. No pressure and no fuel. It is rather
instantaneous.
We highly recommend a vapor return system as part of your fuel system.
It allows fuel to be returned to the header or main tank. Another gotcha is
a partial loop with a horizontal section of the fuel line between the pump
and the carburetor. This is often done to accommodate a fuel flow sensor. It
can trap a bubble of air that will move along to the carb when the aircraft
changes pitch and or at high power settings. (Like take Off). The Yaks use a
system with a return line with a restrictor in it . This allows the pump to
maintain fuel pressure while allowing for a fuel return path for any vapors
or air.

Hello, Sylvain. Any chance you may have a fuel system diagram you could let
me have
a copy of, please ? I need to understand everything forward of the
gascolator including
any fuel returns to main tank(s) and electric boost pump. Thank you.

Hi,
I ram my moose radial without the wings, you must make sure your fuselage it
is well attached because this engine is pulling really hard.
