I know a guy who had air in his system, the coolant got so hot, some turned to steam and he blew a coolant hose in flight. He decided to make an emergency landing. I hear if you throttle back enough, you can run the engine without coolant to a safe landing. From: John Fasching Sent: Friday, June 11, 2010 11:00 PM Subject: RotaxEngines-List: CHT Temps I resolved this problem. I can only guess, but upon blowing into the coolant tank I found that I could move air from my blowing into the system, and that came with some coolant movement....when I finished, the coolant level was no longer at the top of the input point, but seemed empty...it took a full liter to refill the system. There had been no leaks. I can only guess that somehow I had air 'trapped' in the system...the thing that fooled me was that the hose from the radiator was reasonably hot, so I assumed there was coolant being moved through the system...perhaps there was, but it wasn't enough. After adding the coolant the system appears fully normal. Prolonged running did not raise the CHT much past 150. thanks for your input. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rotaxengines-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RotaxEngines-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rotaxengines-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rotaxengines-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
