    Subject: matco brakes
    From: "Gord O'Donnell" <gordod@ca.ibm.com>
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Gord O'Donnell" <gordod@ca.ibm.com> Hello all, I have a few questions on 601hd brakes. I am installing matco wheels and brakes. 1) I have looked at several pics and noticed the bleeder screws at the top of the caliper on some planes and the bottom on others is one way correct ? 2) On the install Kit from ZAC you get 3x 90 degree elbows and 1x180 degree. I put the 180 on the right pilot pedal is this correct (I only have the plans no assembly documentation) 3) What brake fluid should I use. Will Dot 5 silicon based be OK ? Thank You Gord O'Donnell Gordod@ca.ibm.com

    Subject: Discolored fuel
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: MElrod3732@aol.com Hi fellow builders: A few days before starting my Rotax engine for the first time, I put a couple gallons of premium auto gas in each wing tank to make sure there were no leaks. Just before starting the engine, I drained some fuel from the wing tanks and the gascolator to check for water-there was none. The wing tanks were fine but the fuel sample from the gascolator was tinted to the color of dark beer. I kept draining the gascolator until it was the color of the wing tank fuel sample. The engine started and ran fine. I checked the gascolator the next day and the fuel was still tinted although not as much. I am using the fuel lines supplied by Zenith in my 701 kit. Question- Has anyone else had a similar experience with tinted fuel from the gascolator? Thanks in advance, Mike Elrod 701 99% complete

    Subject: bleeder screws
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Gord O'Donnell" <gordo@xplornet.com> Looking for help, I purchased am installing new matco wheels and brakes on my 601hd. I have looked at various pics on the web and it seems some people have the bleeder screws on the top of the caliper, and some on the bottom. Which way is correct ? Also can you use dot-5 slicon based brake fluid or must it be aviation brake fluid ? Thanks Gord c-fxzi

    --> Zenith-List message posted by: doug kandle <d_kandle@velocitus.net> I just installed my fuel tanks and washed them out with lacquer thinner before installing them. I noticed that the solvent that I drained out was tinted. The tanks were part of my kit from ZAC.
