Fred,
May I suggest you get rid of that weed-eater fuel line and get some SAE 30R7 rubber
line at your local auto supply. The poly line you mentioned degrades fast
regardless if it's in the sun or not, just quicker in it. I had it on my Kolb
when I first bought it and had nothing but trouble until I finally switched out.

Given the inacuracy of the VDO fuel gauges and senders in my 701, I'm starting
to seriously look into installing a fuel flow monitoring system. Have any of
you had any luck with these? I was talking to a 701 owner the other day who has
an EI system and finds it under reading most of the time. I would have thought
IE was one of the better systems. Aircraft spruce lists several options
starting at about $150 and going well over $1000.00.

Hi Doug,
I have a MGL fuel flow meter on my Stratomaster Extreme in my Beaver.
It has a calibration feature and was not difficult to set. It is
deadly accurate and I use it (and trust it) for fuel level. There are
also many other uses for fuel flow monitoring. For example, I can
tell whether or not the fuel has alcohol in it. My 582 uses about
16.1 litres per hour at 5600 rpm without alcohol and if it is present
it will usually be burning about 17.2 litres per hour. I used to
check for alcohol but now I don't bother. I have a lot of information
on my the MGL but the fuel flow reading is what I look at most often.
I wouldn't be without it.
Regards,
