| Subject: | Re: Gascolator location on 601XL |
I moved mine to the right side floor in-between the rudder pedals and the firewall.
It is much easier to access for the pre-flight fuel sample there. I moved
my fuel selector valve down to the cockpit floor via an extension rod and ran
out of room to put the gascolator in the suggested area. I also made a sheet
metal protection fairing for it. After 23 hours of Phase 1 flight test it
is working well so far.
Good Luck,

How much side skin ahead of the firewall will I actually need to join with the
cowling? If it makes a difference, I'm installing a Corvair using WWs cowling
kit.

Larry,
I have the WW cowling setup, also. (actually the Beta kit from WW) I
used the ZAC recommended 70mm (from firewall rivet line) overhang on
the fuselage top and side skins. You could trim that to 20mm from the
face of the firewall, but why? I overlapped the cowling side skins
about 30mm just to add a little more stiffness to the assembly.

I also used the Zenith recommended 70mm and as I was installing the WW cowling
saw no reason to shorten it though like Jay I could have.
My advice is just fit the cowling to the plane. It is a lot easier to cut the sheets
of the cowling than it is the skins that are already riveted in place.
