| Subject: | Old style cabin doors and fuel vents |
Builders,
I have the old style lexan/aluminum doors on my 701.
After getting everything hooked up, I discover that when the doors are open to
the stop, the lexan pushes against the fuel drain.
That has got to be a big problem since lexan and gasoline don't mix.
I wonder what some of you are doing keep the doors from pushing against the fuel
drain?
Many thanks and as always, Do Not Archive.

my 701 has 2 vent holes about 1.5" across in the lexon at the drain places. has
two more at the top of the window the same distance from the trailing edge of
door.. looks like they belong there. have two more of the spin able vents in
the leading edge of the windows all four are symmetrical from the edges.. till
you put the doors up everyone assumes they are just vents

I had to drill 2 holes in my door windows to clear the vents. The
windows have gotten some fuel on them from leaking but so far haven't
cracked or crazed

Tommy.
The old 701's had the doors swing forward so the fuel drain wasn't a
problem. Like Ben I switched to the low profile drains and used a soft
rubber bumper form McMaster Carr to hold the door away from the drain.

In fact I mde a 1" diam hole in the lexan.- My old lexan windows did not
touch, but once a little debris kept open de drain, the door was left open
all the week end in the hangar :-(
-
the driping of gasoline damaged the window, when we changed the new ones wa
s that we decided to make the holes,- now in case of driping, the drops w
ill go directly to- the floor.

It depends on the size of the piece of aluminum where the door piano hidge
attaches in the fuselage (I do not have the plans here to see the part numb
er), - we made a instalation test of the door before cutting it to sze,
- We left the drain about 1 inch away from touching the window..,
What we couldnt prevent was that the drain will leak the same week we were
checking a radio noise, and the doors were left open all week long (we didn
t fnished testing Sat night).
The hole shure looks like a little vent.
