I wouldn't be too happy about it either. That's actually kind of
scary. Right in the middle of dodging some nasty CBs you get
get "cut off". I guess that's something to think about when
using these kinds of gadgets - they can stop working at any
time.
We usually consider the risk of the electronic device
failing, which thankfully these days is pretty low. However,
we should consider that their system administrators can
very easily cause failure. Having worked in that biz
for a while, I can say that these kinds of mistakes happen
*a lot*.

This is my plan for the first few tanks, anyway. McMaster-Carr has
a nice selection.

Does anyone have the instructions for the steps installation for an RV7A.
The darned things have been sitting around the workshop since I ordered them
too early in the build process and ow I'm at the point where they need to be
fully installed and, of course, I can't find them. I'm sure I put them
someplace safe in a misguided moment of organization.
If you have them, can copy them, and snailmail them to me, I'd appreciate if
you could contact me off-list at bcollinsrv7a@comcast.net.
Thanks

The small piece of crud will surly find it's way back to the drain....a
better solution would be to remove the drain, let the fuel run into an
appropriately sized container...replace the possibly cut O-ring while the
drain is in your hand. Refill after straining the fuel and check for leaks.
As a matter of fact I think both tanks should be treated to this process at
every annual.....couldnt hurt.
Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

If the seal/O-ring is suspect, you can also buy new ones for a whopping 18
cents each, MS29513-006 from Spruce. I carry a spare in my tool bag just in
case. Haven't had to use it (yet?).

Another item to throw into the tool bag is an 1/8" NPT pipe plug. This
is to plug the hole in the tank while you are sitting on the ramp
replacing the o-ring. :-)
Actually, in addition to the plug, I carry a spare drain valve. I have
had a couple of occasions to repair the valve away from home due to the
o-ring leaking. There is a higher priced o-ring that is the
"certificated" part because it is more resistant to avgas, but I just
use the cheapies Dan described since they are so easy to replace.
