George,
Thanks for the reference. I will have to measure mine but from memory, it seems
the factory welded bosses are much closer than the 3.93 inches shown in the
manual. I test flew my bird last night and saw EGTs above 1750 in the climb...they
came down to the mid 1600s on downwind. If the bosses are closer than the
3.93 inches shown in the manual, that would explain my higher readings. Two
other guys flying my same setup said my temps were typical of what they see.

Thanks for the comments on ethanol...sounds like it may be a near non
issue so far.
Thanks again

Here is a method I have been thinking about for getting fuel from your
autos tank to the aircraft.
There is a schreder valve on the fuel rail on a lot of vehicles where
you can drain the fuel tank from if you can get the fuel pump running.
The fuel pump is controlled by a relay sometimes in the box of
electrical stuff on the front fender.
I used this method on my mothers car last winter when she filled it
up on the farm from the diesel tank instead of the gas tank.
I took the cap of the schreder valve and the valve stem out.
Then located the fuel pump relay by feeling which one was clicking
when the fuel pump came on when the key was turned on.
I jammed a piece of tight fitting hose over the valve and ran it into
5 gallon pails.
There is a wiring diagram on the little Bosch relays that shows
which terminal goes to the fuel pump and a jumper was ran to this
terminal from a 12 v terminal post that was right near by in the box.
It was not timed but it was less than 15 minutes to get it all
pumped out (15 - 20) gallons.
With the right kind of hose and proper hose end and maybe a
wired in switch to start the pump up with the engine off,
this may be an option.
