I don't have one in my 701 with a 912ULS. Bob Spudis In a message dated 3/10/2007 12:42:51 A.M.

The fuel tanks have already been enclosed in the wings of my high-wing Zenith 701 airplane project. It would be very difficult, even ugly to add a fuel return back to a tank at this point.

You won't charge that low. You need to print the Rotax manual online and see what the values are and test the reg. If that's not an option then you need to replace it with a known good reg. and I think you will see higher charging voltage. I am going to the field today. I will double check and see exactly what mine is and email you back. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

Most 912uls installations don't have return lines. If you have certain types of avionics that specify one then you would need it. My last plane did not have one. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

I am in doubt if replacing it with a similar one or installing a different one, like the Key West. The Key west is easy to find, I don't know where to buy a Ducati. Any advice is welcomed. -- Silvano Roger Lee wrote: > > Hi Silvano, > > I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the reason the light is coming on is because you are dipping down to 12.2 volts. > You won't charge that low.

So do we just let the return line leak down through the cowling?
