| Subject: | Space in RV 7 wing roots |
--> RV7-List message posted by: Slgmjg1@cs.com
Hey Frank,
The distance is about 4". Just to let you know (and I'm sure someone will have
an opinion about this but) I am running auto fuel in my 7A with the standard
boost pump from vans in the normal location (inside of firewall) and I have
60 hours on the plain now and have had no trouble with vapor lock. I run 93 octain
fuel from BP in a 0-360A1A. Not a bad idea to put it in the wing root for
if anything piece of mind. Have fun.
