| Subject: | Re: Fuel in the Oil |
I just got my oil analysis back and I was told that I have 2.3 % fuel in the
oil and the value should be less than 1%.
I have an IO 360 A1A, and I mostly use unleaded auto fuel. Blackstone labs
thinks I should check the injectors on the engine and any other source of
fuel.
Any ideas on what to check for, and what might be causing the problem?
Thanks

If you are running a mechanical fuel pump there might be a slight leak i
nternally past the diaphram. I have seen that happen before several time
s, if not it has to be in the injector area somewhere. To have that much
fuel get past the rings and into the oil would be a long shot for sure.
Keep us posted and how this turns out.

I'm having to look harder and harder to find un-ethanol-ed unleaded auto gas
around here, Bob. Just dumped 15 gallons out of the plane that the wife
bought for me at the deep discount Kroger station, because I saw signs on
the pump later that week that said may contain 10% ethanol. Did the water
test, and sure enough- positive for corn squeezin's. Not until after I
dumped the first jerry can from the wing tanks into my pickup truck tank did
I think about the residual 100 LL that was mixed in there from a September
cross-country. I hope I have not ruined my cat converter; I have another
dozen gallons of premium gasohol / 100 LL mix that I can only burn in the
motorcycles and lawnmowers ;-(
Be careful about the ethanol - it's making inroads in our region, and it's
time for the high vapor pressure winter mix to hit the market, too.

Bill,
While the lead will coat the catalytic converter and the oxygen sensors, it's
affect will be only temporary. Once you put pure unleaded back into the car, the
lead will burn off of the cat and the oxygen sensor.

| Subject: | Thin washers under bolts on gear tower |
I have the RV-8 QB
The quick builders put thin washers under the head of the bolts that
fasten the gear bolt weldment to the tower (see dwg 24 F802)
The drawing does not call for the washers,and it seems to make the AN3-5A
bolt too short. Can others with RV-8 QB check theirs and see if it the
same?

Tom,
Used a wrecker - see picture. Just tied the cable to the front fork and
eased it on. No trouble.
Tie the wheels down well, but DO NOT tie the tail down, have heard of
fuselages being bent!
