Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Re: Fuel filter

Hi. 
Just read your post. 
I have a Rotax 914, many years ago, entry in log book states. 
Fuel Filters Removed and Gasalator Fitted, 
Have had no trouble with Gasolator, but read many times engine failure
filter blocked. 
regards. 
Alan


Hi Alan,


For some reason I never got your reply - I just happened to see it today as
I was browsing the website.  So sorry for not replying earlier.   


I went back and tried to find the source for the 30 and 15 micron thing I
mentioned in the first post.  This is very strange: I couldn't find anything
of the kind in the installation manual.  I'm beginning to think I dreamed it
all up in the first place now.     

The only filter I have is a Gascolator, so I guess my installation is fine
after all. Anyway, thanks to you and to Barry for your replies. and sorry
for wasting your time and for putting incorrect information out there.  


For the record, the copy of the installation manual that I have (Ed.2/Rev.0
Aug 2012) says:

Coarse filter:  On fuel tank as per certification (whatever that means)

Fine filter: In the feedline from the tanks to the pumps, an additional fine
filter with mesh size 0.1mm (so 100 microns not 30 or 15.) has to be
provided.  The filter has to be controllable for service. A combination of
filter/water-trap (gascolator) is  recommended.


Sacha
