    Subject: Fuel Filter
    From: "Doerr, Ray R [NTK]" <Ray.R.Doerr@sprint.com>
    Just run the engine and then turn the fuel selector off and wait for the engine to quit. Then fold up about 6 or so paper towels and place then under the connections of the fuel filter, then simply remove the filter. It is not a tough job, just a pain taking off all the screws to get at the tunnel, but then you have to do it anyway to see the rest of the stuff anyway. I had lint mostly in my filter. Very easy to clean and re-install. Thank You Ray Doerr 40250 N519RV (Hobbs = 295) -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Marcus Cooper Sent: Sunday, August 05, 2007 10:24 AM Subject: RV10-List: Fuel Filter I was wondering if anyone has any tricks/tips on cleaning the standard fuel filter in the tunnel. Primarily how to remove it without dumping fuel and the best way to clean it. Thanks, Marcus 40286

    Subject: Paint
    I painted my RV8 white,in stages, as I built the parts, then after final assembly, had vinyl stripes applied by Eric Mann, of Freedom Signs and Graphics (775 771-3937). I designed a paint scheme, e-mailed it Eric, who had actual RV8 dimensions in his program. He fine tuned the scheme, and sent me a rendering for approval. When I flew the RV8 to Reno, he applied the prepared stripes in about an hour. The cost was only a couple hundred bucks, and you can do it yourself. Go to my website and see it http://members.cox.net/cjhukill/ The stripes have been on about 5 years now, and look as good as the day they were installed. Chris Hukill

    I mounted my fuel filter vertical. I used this same installation on my RV8 and it work great. The fuel filter is removed from the top. I shut off the fuel valve before removal and no spills.

    This is a no brainer, but I obviously forgot my brain when I did my tail tie down tap. I clamped it horizontal on the table. What I learned, don't do it horizontal, like with the wings in their craddle, instead, put the wings on a table so the chips that are created in the tapping process fall through the hole and don't get re incorporated into the threads you are creating. problem was the last time I had tapped anything was when I was in Junior High School.

    Tapping for a Webra .61 ia actually harder and has more risk because the 6-32 tap will snap in a heartbeat. Anyone remember the SIG T-shaped aluminum engine mounts? Take your time, use kerosene as a lube and cut only about a turn and a half at a time. Clear the chips often and make sure you get it straight on the first few threads. Either way that's some tough metal but like eating an elephant, do it one bite at a time.

    Use the Boelube, especially when you start to tap the smaller (6-32 or 8-32 's) in the rear fuselage section. I tried to be very careful with the #6 sc rews and even broke one off.

    I have no idea about the engine bay temperatures, however using Van's tank sealant in front of the firewall is a concern, as it is combustible even af ter it sets up. Van's firewall sealant could be used part # MC-CS-1900 and I know some use RTV to hold down the KOOL mat. There is more info on this i n the archives. Just search the words "firewall cover".

    Jay, Here's my spreadsheet. It's a work in progress but I think it's ballpark. I'm sure there's things I have left off, (heated pitot for instance) but it's good enough to buget with I think. I have my empacone and have built my rudder, VS, HS, and my elevators are primed and ready to rivet. The only other thing I've purchased to this point is the VP-200 wiring harness. Hope you find this helpful. -------- Todd Stovall 728TT (reserved) RV-10 Empacone Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=127913#127913 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/rv10_cost_102.xls
