| Subject: | Low Fuel Sensor Location |
Being stupid and running out of gas...that is after I ignore the two other
warnings I would have received by then. Would also be helpful in a fuel
leak situation where the fuel flow and tank float sensors did not agree..the
low fuel sensor would be the tie breaker..i.e. the fuel flow sensor
(calculation) shows you have not used 25 gallons, but the mechanical sensor
in the tank does and the low fuel optical sensors also says you are down to
5 gallons...

| Subject: | Is it possible to convert a conventional tappet IO-540 C4D5 |
engine to a roller tappet engine?
After spending many professional years in building and repairing diesel
engines on ships, I've become a believer in roller tappet technology.
I'm certain there are other professional opinions out there on the
subject, but my specific question for the group is: Can you take an
engine that has conventional tappets and install roller tappets without
altering the crankcase?
Thanks.

A few conversions have been done, but it requires modifying the case. Lyc. will
not do the conversion.

Superior pre bankruptcy made a roller tappet that could be retrofitted. The
lycoming tappet cannot without significant machining of case. I don't know
what is available from Superior now.

You have to split the case anyway to change cams..... The lobe profile f
or a roller cam is entirely different then a flat tappet cam lobe profil
e. While the case is split the machining can be done..

| Subject: | Re: Low Fuel Sensor Location |
The reality is it's probably not going to matter much. I did go back and no
tice I set it at 2.5. The main reason being that the fuel levels are going
to be a lot more sensitive as the tank empties. E wise of the dihedral. I d
idn't want it false alarming a lot in turbulence or turns I possible. As b
ob said, it is really a last chance, pay attention dummy, type warning.

As well as if you do a steep descent/slip on the full tank, a friend of
mine had an engine out because he unported the tank pickup due to a
steep descent, the low fuel would probably warn you before that piece of
metal/composite in front would stop.
