| Subject: | fuel sender units |
Having problems installing the fuel sender units in the QB wings. The folks who
built the wing didn't leave enough room between the fuel vent line and the wing
stiffner to allow the float to go easily all the way up to the skin. In other
words there is no clearance on either side. In addition it is hard, at least
for me, to see inside very well even with using a mirror thru the finger strainer
hole and a lite thru the drain hole. Could I cut down the length of the
float by 1/4 to 1/2 inch (which would provide clearance) and still have it
function properly? Or any other advice? Thank
Jay Rowe 40301

Jay, I don't know if this will help but, I found that the way the fuel
sender units are mfg leaves room for variances between units. In my case
I had a @#$@ of a time getting the things to clear the stiffeners , what
I found was that the angle with which they were assembled (riveted
together) there was no way it would ever work (the other unit was OK), I
was able to adjust the angle of the sender unit and the float in
relation to the mounting bracket and the problem disappeared. The units
are put together with a single large rivet between them and in my case I
was able to make the adjustment.

Has anyone looked into using auto racing seats instead of what van's
provides? These are pics from an Aus RV6 installation. I'm not sure how
they compare weight wise, but they are available in a number of colors
and options (lumbar spts, etc). From a brief google search it appears
you could get 4 of these already upholstered, for less than what van's
charges for their seats & foam sets and a 3rd party upholstery job.
your thoughts?

To anyone that has used Flightline Interiors firewall insulation:
How did you seal the edges of the insulation?

Jay,
Getting the fuel level floats to there full travel in the quickbuild
wings is a tedious task. I have a write up on my web page that explains
how I installed them. You can find it here

I did some preliminary investigation ; I can't remember which seats I
analyzed but your biggest problem is reengineering the mounts. For example
using other seats in the rear would require mounting them on top of the
rear seat bottoms in order to preserve the structure there. likewise in the
front a complete redesign of the mount. In my opinion would not be an easy
swap and the time , money and analysis would not be cost effective. Also
would probably be heavier than the Van design.

IIRC the seats are in the finish kit. You might find someone who has the
seats to look them over before deciding; additionally having the seats
covered locally is a very real option.

I didn't, but I've heard of people using RTV to fill around the edges.
Don't see why it's needed though.

Larry,
I am using the orange high temp permatex. I think Tim used Proseal on his but I'm
not positive, he may chime in after me.

I was thinking of something like metal tape or duct tape. Didn't think
of permatex.
thanks

Jay,
I followed the info on Larry Rosen's website and it worker great. I had a friend
use a piece of wood to stick in the sender hole and nudge the vent line over
to make enough space for the float to clear all the way to the top of the tank.
I also rotate the float 90 degrees to make it narrower.
