My Facet pump is located in the center console on the outletb line from the selector valve per the pre- 89' builders manual..

I have read various comments about how much straight line should be before and after the flow scan unit (6 inches) and I'm having trouble finding a location to accommodate that. Also, I talked to a fellow RV builder to day who said he learned at OSHKOSH this year that the Flowscan should be located prior to the electric fuel pump. What have others done?

My new 68x78 Sterba arrived and off came the old prop . Surprise, the front spinner bulkhead is cracked again. This has been an ongoing problem for me despite making it fit like a glove with flox and resin a few years ago. So I have a new one from Van's (9") and surprise (again), it doesn't fit . This time, instead of being a little too small, it is a little too big. Just enough to stop the spinner from going on all the way to the edge of the rear bulkhead to line up the screw holes back there. Pushing harder just won't do it. So my question is: Has anyone tried running with no front bulkhead? Anyone know of a source for a slightly smaller bulkhead? Any other ideas? Thanks, Ivan Haecker -4 1300hrs S.Cen. TX
