isher?

Fill a cup with ice water and submerge the vents wait a few minutes and the
n turn them on. Or remove the vent heaters and put them in the freezer=2C u
sing an ohmeter see if there is continuity through the thermostats.

The fuel vent heaters and the lift detector (stall warning switch) have tem
perature control on them so that they will not feel hot to the touch. The f
uel vent heaters (at least on my bird) do not feel hot on a cold day=2C how
ever they are warmer than the surrounding under wing skin. If you get a de
finitive answer about testing please share. Quite some time ago I made a s
imilar post and did not get a complete reply from anyone.

Subject: Fuel Vent heat Test?
Commanders-
Does anyone have a fool-proof method for testing the fuel vent heaters?
On a whim I decided to test them by turning on the battery=2C connecting th
e buses and activating the L/R Pitot and Fuel Vent heaters.
Pitots heated up enough that you could fry an egg- but the fuel probes did
not warm even slightly.
This made me wonder if the fuel vent heaters are load-shed without a genera
tor on-line? (Yes yes- sometimes I have trouble keeping the big airplane
stuff and the Commander stuff segregated in my brain=85.you should have see
n me flaring at an eyeball height of 70=92.. HAHAHAH=85. Oh boy=85.fortunat
ely it turned out okay for everyone except my ego=85)
We=92re getting into the ugly part of the icing season out here- and I=92m
going to be making a bunch of trips over the mountains during the winter- s
o I want to make sure my ice survival equipment is in top working condition
