| Subject: | Moving the Fuel Selector Valve and Gascolator |
I am building my 601XL center console and am going to use the fuel system pretty
much as shown in drawing 6-K-2 with minor changes. One is that I would like
to add an extension to the ZAC supplied Andair selector valve to drop the valve
closer to the floor while keeping the knob on the console. A second change
is with the gascolator. It looks to me like a big old target hanging out under
the cockpit floor for dirt and rocks. I was either thinking of mounting it
a bit higher up (but still keeping it the low point in the system), or building
some type a fairing around it.
If anybody has done something similar with their fuel selector or gascolator installation,
I would appreciate some tips and photos.
Thank you,
--------

Take a look here for Matt Archer's fuel selector:
www.zodiacxl.com/Brake%20and%20Fuel%20system.htm
Also, in a 601XL/Corvair FWF the standard location for the gascolator
(typically Andair's) is low on the engine side of the firewall, co-pilot's
side. Image attached of Phil Maxson's plane.

I used the Aircraft Spruce fuel valve -
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/whfsv.php
I took 3/8" brass stock and added an extension. I suppose you could machine it,
but I made mine with a hacksaw, drill & file.
It's not as pretty as the Andair, but I can use the other $150 I saved to make
really nice labels.

Kevin Kinney

I have the Andair extension parts and will be moving the valve close to the
floor, and gascolator will be low on the forward side of firewall so as to
not stick out.

hanging the gascolator there is nothing new in Euroipe. If you look closely at
the Scottish Aviation Bulldog line, they have the GHascltor right where Mr. Heintz
designed it. IN theory you could just put a good fuel filter in line, and
forgo it. I stayed simple and put right where they designed. On the bulldog,
they even designed a fairing, looks pretty good. Maybye one of us could mold
one one day when not flying.

Dave:
We wanted more knee room, and were not enamored with the center console,
so we built a box over the valve on the floor and got a nice place to
run all of the wires, hoses, etc. If you are not too far along, you
might consider it. ZAC agreed that the center console was not necessary.
Also check out the fireproof Nomex boot for the steering rod, and the
extra aluminum on the floor to make the carpeting simpler................

As owner of a sliding canopy, I say "beware".
They are difficult to keep sliding easily. Any distortion of the airframe,
say in an incident, and they don't slide at all. Even a small situation
causing dust/sand to get in the tracks jams them.
Spitfire pilots always opened the canopy before landing. I wish I had.

I thought the entire email list might derive some benefit from my answer to the
5- versus 40-hour Phase I question. I registered the airplane as Experimental
Light Sport Aircraft (E-LSA) instead of Experimental Amateur Built (E-AB).
The E-AB registration would have required the 40 hour Phase I flight testing but
would have allowed me to perform annual condition inspections. As E-LSA I
needed to take the special 16-hour FAA approved course to allow me to perform
annual condition inspections ON ANY E-LSA that I currently own or own in the future.

I found a nice Aluminum half-teardrop fairing in a junk pile at Sun & Fun 2006
- he had a bunch of them. I plan to mount it so that it acts as a deflector without
restricting access to the gascolator drain. Something like that would
be easy to make in fiberglass.... just make a form out of clay and lay up a few
layers of glass with epoxy resin.

All-
I've had two 10 packs of HF TIN A4 drill bits laying around in my
workbench for some time. Just tried one for the heck of it. They work
great! $.99 a 10 pack on sale, but you'll be lucky to find them in
stock. I walked around with a raincheck in my wallet for months.
You ever get the feeling HF is a commie front directed at
homebuilders? The latest internet flier offers safety wire pliers, cable
cutting pliers, ratcheting terminal crimpers- all the weird stuff no one
else on the face of the earth would have a use for!
