Hello good people!
I have been a subscriber to the Matronic's Pietenpol List for a number of years.
I have, at great time and effort,?composed a detailed essay, with many photos
and diagrams, of a method of carving a wood propeller using all power tools;?electric
chain saw and power sanders. ?If anyone on this list is interested in
obtaining this CD please contact me off-list and I will send an?e-packet?with
complete info. If you can build a 701-801 you can do this.

Hi guys, mine has a fitting from A/C Spruce which passes thru the firewall. Here
is the description and part number if you are interested.
GASOLATOR MOUNTING FLANGE 05-00907. It has a barbed fitting installed on each end.
I hope this helps.

That's what I used, with a gascolator in front of the firewall. Although a
rubber gas line through a grommet might be OK, I wanted something more
fireproof and solid so as not to worry about it. Seemed we spend a lot of
time and effort making firewalls fire resistant, running a rubber hose full
of gas through it didn't make sense.

Hello Fritz,
-
One of Several -great thing of the ZAC aircrafts have is betwen all- SI
MPLICITY.- Remember we are not building or flying a certified aircraft.
--- I have 20 years flying ultralight type of airplanes,- most ever
y week end (about 100 hrs a year) always used barbed conections and the bes
t quality of rubber car fuel lines,- most (like my 701)-use(d) -the
-firewall groumet type, never had a problem,- we (for self imposed-ma
ntainance rules in our club) change the gasoline hoses every two years.-
Not expensive.- Never had found problems with the firewall area in the ho
ses...
-
Only add Simplicity and Lightness to a airplane.--- If not installed
will not fail.-
KISS (self explanatory :-)

Tommy,
For some reason the post due not appear on my email on a regular basis. I.
E.
I just noticed the post below attached to this letter.
To penetrate the firewall on my 701 ( I have since sold it) I used a
"brass Barb fitting" from the local hardware store. Used rubber fuel
line on both sides , pushed tight to the firewall, so it couldn't vibrate
and clamped the lines. I think Dan is OK with what he did below. I feel
that
just a rubber gromet in the firewall was not enough. Just my opinion. Bel
ieve
me , I have the most respect for Chris, But there are several places where
some
things can be accomplished a little better.
Fritz

installation tips and they had a picture of the rubber fuel line coming thr
u the
firewall inside of an electrical conduit connector. After reviewing this,
I
came to the conclusion that this would be less likely to cause a problem so
I
made the change. It only took me a couple of hours. This is one area where
Zenith could offer some guidelines in their documents.
