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 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 07:41:38 PM PST US Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Oil recovery system installation From: "Charles Deiterich" --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Charles Deiterich" Mike, I have a Jab 2200 in my CH701.

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?

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 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 08:54:58 PM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: Zenith-List: Six New Email Lists / Forums At Matronics! --> Zenith-List message posted by: Matt Dralle Dear Listers, Its my pleasure to announce the addition of six new Email List / Forums to the aviation line up at Matronics!
