So how do you deal with getting the valve stem cap on and off with only a
one inch hole? Go up from the sides or do you just not use a cap?
Thanks

Thanks Everyone for the responses about the tires. I plan to drill a hole
in my pants to accept my placing an extension through to air them up as
others have suggested. I don't think I will put a door in as I just don't
feel like messing with the fiberglass again.

I think only half the idea was expressed. The real concern would be to mount
the engine on a temp basis, with bolts to the firewall NOT torqued properly.
Then it could bounce around and hammer the mount area. Similar lesson to the
story of the canopy that was not secured. Same could happen if wings were
not properly secured.

Wow, all that bouncing around taxiing on rough strips, t
hose multiple landings I often do,
the rollouts on gravel strips etc
must be doing a lot of damage is this theory is true!
Sometimes you can't believe everything you are told.

Hi Bill,
I used a short length of plastic (polyethylene) tubing with ID slightly less
than the OD of he cap. I split it to about a half inch from the end. I
pushed it onto the cap. There was enough friction to unscrew and hold the
cap. After filling the tire, I re-installed the cap and withdrew the tube.
Worked well for three years.
Regards,

I leave the caps off the (AirStop) tubes. Works fine for me. Using a 4"
screw-on extension through a fancy spring loaded door in the pants - same
idea as a pugged hole others use. I like the looks of Ed's straight-on
chuck from Harbor Freight.

| Subject: | Apollo GX-60 with a Dynon?? |
Has anyone flown with a Dynon EFIS & Apollo GX60 (for IFR)? If so, is it
a reasonable combination? Is the HS34 required or advisable, and can the
Dynon serve as the CDI for approaches?
I'm not yet instrument rated & *if* I can get around to getting the
rating, I'll still be a big enough coward to only use it to get up
through and back down through a layer to good conditions. It's hard to
justify the money for a 430W when there's a good chance I'll never use
its real power, & GX60's can be had for a much more tolerable price.
Thanks for any insight,
Charlie

| Subject: | Air in fuel lines |
Hi all:
Been having a lot of trouble with a rough idle problem on my Fuel Injected
0-360 parallel valve engine. I've been going through several tests trying
to locate the source of the problem but so far no joy. One suggestion that
I have received concerns air getting into the fuel lines. It seems a little
far fetched that air could get in through a fitting that is not leaking fuel
but I'm running out of ideas so I'll go through and tighten all my fittings
to see if that helps.
But, that leaves one other possibility and that's air getting in through the
fuel selector valve. I'm using the Van's fuel selector that came with my
RV-6 kit. It sat in its little brown bag on the shelf in my shop for several
years before it got used but seems to working fine. It's not hard to move
the selector and its not leaking, at least externally.
Anyone experience leaking of this valve or any issue with that might let air
into the fuel lines through it? Any ideas on how I might test the valve to
see if it's leaking air into the system?
I'm using the Van's high pressure pump setup that puts the pump ahead of the
selector valve so there will be some suction at the valve. I'm running out
of ideas and thinking about switching to a carb. Hate to do that but can't
find anything wrong after working on it for the last year, maddening.
Thanks.

I had a similar problem in my O-360 Pitts. Found the problem
accidentally ..... the rudder pedal was rubbing on the hard aluminum
fuel line and finally rubbed a hole in it. As long as the rudder pedal
was over the hole .... the engine ran fine. If the hole was uncovered,
it really ran rough .... and wouldn't develop enough power to stay in
the air. Fuel (mogas) was leaking out while the airplane sat, but very
slowly and evaporated ..... and I never smelled anything unusual. I
doubt that the valve is your culprit .... I've had them leak just a
little but could smell it ..... but no other bad effects.
