Thanks for the excellent research Noel ! As I mentioned previously, I saw the
product on my British car site. As you probably know older British cars are
not usually driven all that much (as in my case) and between repairs usually
sit a lot. This would be an excellent product for that use and I thought it
might also apply to our aircraft.. When we get alcohol in our fuel in NW Florida
(a couple of years so the newspaper says) then hopefully we will have some
reports on the usage of these products. I have installed two NAPA in line filters
down line from my wing fuel tanks (along with shutoff valves) anyway. I can
readily check them prior to each flight. On the Kitfox there have been some
problems with the sloshing compound Kreem in the fiberglass tanks. The product
has
been flaking off in some cases. I have a very very small amount of flaking in
my tanks (at least from a borescope investigation) None has come down the
fuel lines. I am keeping my eye on it and if I do see small amounts in the filter
then the wings come off and new tanks. Alcohol has also been reported as
accelerating the possible problem thus the interest in this new product.

Hi Peter,
That's why Rotax added a return fuel line and would like everyone to have a fuel
return line because it helps stave off the vapor lock.

Hi Guys,
If you have metal tanks or a composite type tank and you are concerned about rust,
flaking, pin holes or cracks you can slosh your tank with a product called
"Kreem Weiss". It's impervious to all the fuels, oils and aviation fuel additives,
it seals holes, cracks and stops and coating from flaking. It's a two part
epoxy type mix. It is easy to use and tough as nails.

The good news is your new president may squelch the shift to ethanol. He is
an academic and as such can read the data on ethanol... All the data! I
don't expect it to be high on his list of priorities but I'd be surprised if
he continues this fiscal farce.

Subject: | Rough 912 UL Engine Operation when Pneumatically Balancing | Carbs
I know this issue has been discussed before. Back in May of 2007 I posted a
question about Idle settings for the 912. I got a lot of good advice, but I
never attempted to pneumatically balance my carbs. because the engine seemed
to run so well. Now, after about 147 hours of operation on my 912 UL, I
finally decided to check the carb. balance pneumatically. Prior to the test,
the engine appeared to run well, it just would not idle smoothly below 1800
rpm. I finally decided to check the carbs. sync. pneumatically. A friend of
mine who has done this before helped me to do the test. We followed the
Rotax procedure. When we disconnected the cross over balance tube and
connected the two manometers to measure the individual vacuums, the engine
ran very rough and would not smooth out, or appear to smooth out, until
about 3500 rpm. The mercury manometers had a differential of about 3" of
mercury at 1800 rpm, and about one inch at 3500 rpm. Adjusting the throttle
cable setting at the carb. had little to no effect on this differential. We
then dropped the carb. bowls and both appeared normal (floats, gas, ect).
Reassembled the bowls and tried again. Same results.
Any suggestions as to what the problem is?

If the engine ran better before the test, you
gotta suspect the test setup or possible damage
during the setup.
