My Fuel Flow Transducer has about 150 hrs on it hooked up to GRT Efis/EIS 4000. Worked great then took turns reading either zero or correctly. The other day, bounced between zero and 30+ ...

Folks,

Seems there is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel for Oregon Mogas users. HB3177 proposes to remove Ethanol from 91 octane mogas, if the Guv signs it, that is. The bill is here:

I've had 3 RV's all with O-360. The one with SlickStart fires instantly, far better than the others. I usually give it one stroke of throttle, no primer and she fires immediately in all kind of weathe ...

Folks in the know...

Please weigh in on this. If one were to push the longevity of a 2000 SMOH O-360 by doing a top overhaul, what would be a reasonable expectation of time remaining? Given exce ...

Folks,

At one time I was very interested in a converted Subaru. IMO, there is a wonder of technology in this fine engines... in cars. Problem is for aircraft... It needs a gearbox (PRSU heavy), ...

I had to remove both fuel senders and reseal so am testing for integrity. The instructions for testing with a manometer are saying either 2 to 3 inches diff in water levels or 2 feet 3 inches, can't t ...

Thanks! just what I need for my Ford tractor with 6V electrical "system". I just used it to mow 5 acres. She runs beautifully still... The entire system is protected by one (1) 30A fus ...

Just another lesson in sending large sums to small businesses before delivery of product. It is common that these small vendors use your money to stay afloat and then hope more $$$ comes in to fill ...

Hi Jerry,

Ron,

Thank you for that. I had used Airnav while still using 100LL exclusively, and forgot they also tell you where mogas is available. I just checked one of my one fuel stop routes, KUAO~KB ...

Ron,

I've done lot's of cross countries and yet to see a mogas pump at an airport. Locally, I was using mogas until Oregon mandated 10% ethanol. So when you go X-Country, where do you get moga ...

Great question. I suspect with the best engineering team in the world, they couldn't get the weight with all the cooling apparatus down enough. Or, they'd have to get $50K for it. Would be good to ...

Hi Robert,

This list is pretty dead, and I think most everybody just posts on the main RV list at matronics.com and/or vansairforce.com
