Subject: | ferry gas tank installation |
Hey guys, a new topic!
My piet (model A) has a wing tank which holes 12.5 gallons. Since it is
a tailskid plane I'll be limited to grass strips on any cross countries
I might try, like to Brodhead (Lord willing!)
I can see that carrying some extra fuel in the front cockpit could come
in very handy, and I was thinking it would be VERY handy if I could
transfer fuel from that tank to my wing tank in flight.
I was thinking that it should be easy enough to use a boat type gas tank
with an inline handpump to pump fuel up to the wing where an inlite tube
could be welded/brazed in the filler neck. When I wasn't using this
system, this inlet tube in the neck would have a screw on cap.
It sounds fairly straight forward, am I missing something that would
cause problems? I know the cockpit tank has to be well secured as that
has caused problems in the past. IF the inlet tube is in the gas tank
neck, it won't interfere with the workings of the tank, and I'll still
have the forward facing vent in the slipstream. Fly until the wing tank
is low, then pump,pump,pump until it is full again and not have to
deviate to find a grass strip and go into town for auto fuel.
fire away...
Thanks
Douwe

Should be fine then. The other concern would be how to attach and
adjust it. I assume there is hardware available to attach it to the
plane and adjust its tension? I'm sure kevlar is lighter than steel,
and stronger and stiffer. Is it cheap enough to consider?

Hans,
The tower instructions call for tensioning to 15% breaking strength then under
that load it relaxes to 10% over a period of 30 days. Tower builders seem to
consider it equivalent to galvanized. I'm trying to get elasticity or dymanic
stretching data. It weighs nothing and at .22" dia and 2100# breaking strength,
it costs $.59 @ foot.

Tom,
I googled the elasticity modulus
Kevlar 49 has a elasticity modulus of 120 Gpa
Carbon Steel has a elasticity modulus of 210 Gpa
The higher the number the lower the elasticity.
Kevlar has a higher fatigue life than steel, due to being more elastic.
Probably Kevlar would be more suited as use in bracing wires, where there
is a lot of vibration, or control cables where there is a lot of bending.
Inside the wing with no turbulence and no bending I would not use it, the
additional stretching might exceed the limits of the wood structure.
Then again the certified aircraft builders Boeing and Airbus seem to use
Kevlar in secondary structures, why not in primary ?

Thanks for looking that up Hans. I'm drooling over the weight aspect, but guess
I'll take the conservative approach and stick with steel.

I finally got around to taking a couple of photos of the small baffles that
are used on the underside of the cylinders on small Continentals. I put
them on a webpage along with the drawing of how they are made, at
http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/baffle.html and for scaling the layout, the
drawing shows a grid of 1" squares.
A similar setup is required on VWs and Corvairs as "cooling tin".

You might want to try the following fuel test. Bring your tail up to
level, climb in and sit for 2 hours. You can listen to the radio and
look around, but after 2 hours, ask yourself how much fuel do you
really need?

Subject: Pietenpol-List: ferry gas tank installation
Hey guys, a new topic!
My piet (model A) has a wing tank which holes 12.5 gallons. Since it
is a tailskid plane I'll be limited to grass strips on any cross
countries I might try, like to Brodhead (Lord willing!)
I can see that carrying some extra fuel in the front cockpit could
come in very handy, and I was thinking it would be VERY handy if I could
transfer fuel from that tank to my wing tank in flight.
I was thinking that it should be easy enough to use a boat type gas
tank with an inline handpump to pump fuel up to the wing where an inlite
tube could be welded/brazed in the filler neck. When I wasn't using
this system, this inlet tube in the neck would have a screw on cap.
It sounds fairly straight forward, am I missing something that would
cause problems? I know the cockpit tank has to be well secured as that
has caused problems in the past. IF the inlet tube is in the gas tank
neck, it won't interfere with the workings of the tank, and I'll still
have the forward facing vent in the slipstream. Fly until the wing tank
is low, then pump,pump,pump until it is full again and not have to
deviate to find a grass strip and go into town for auto fuel.
fire away...
Thanks
Douwe
