Subj: SELECTOR VALVE AIR LEAKS.
Dean,
Jess Meyers of Belted Air Power discovered this many years ago: If the
pump is sucking fuel through the valve (not pushing) it can pull air past the
"O" ring seals around the selector valve shaft. Fuel will not necessarily
leak from the valve, in fact it seldom if ever does in this type of
situation, but it will surely pull air into the fuel! This is just like having
a
pin hole in a soda straw and trying to suck soda from a bottle, it will
induce air bubbles from the atmosphere into the straw causing loss of vacuum
and dilution of the soda with air.
This same phenomena occurs in fuel with even worse effects. The fuel draw
is reduced to the point of inadequate fuel to the injectors or
carburetor, possible vapor lock, and or foaming in the carburetor bowl causing
the
float to rise to a false level limiting the fuel flow through the needle
valve and possibly completely shutting off the needle valve. Any of these
occurrences can cause fuel starvation and is only exacerbated by turning on of
a second or booster pump as it only sucks in more air! And yet it may
show good fuel pressure!
Watch the accident reports and see how many times an engine failed and
when checked afterwards there was fuel in the system, but it just stopped
running. We hear of reports where the pilot experienced a rough running engine
and took the proper action to turn on a boost pump only to have the
engine run even worse or stop all together.
Jess has been putting this notice out for many years but unfortunately few
seem to understand it well enough to heed the warning.

| Subject: | bleeding brakes? |
I will soon need to pour some brake fluid into my RV-6A and, I presume, to
bleed the brakes. I've never done this on a car, let alone a plane. Can
some one direct me to a web page that explains the process?
Thanks,

No website, but my best advice would be to get someone from your local
EAA chapter (you should already be a member!!!) to help you do it the
first time. It's easy to end up with spongy brakes.
Lacking that, the simple and best way is to use a squeeze-type oil can
and force fluid through the bleed fitting on the brake cylinder. An
adapter with a short piece of hose on the master cylinder will allow you
to catch overflow in a container. Bleed one side, then the other.

| Subject: | trimming wheel fairing tire opening |
I am concerned that the opening for the tire in my wheel fairings might not
be large enough, or perhaps I should say high enough. It seems to me that
if your tire goes flat, the wheel fairing should be trimmed high enough so
that the bottom of the fairing doesn't touch the ground. Otherwise the
weight of the plane will be on the fairing rather than the tire.
Is this an excessive amount of trimming? I'm sure some of you had the
experience of opening the hangar and finding a flat. How did your fairings
come through the experience and how high do you have them trimmed?
Thanks,
