Fuel supply questions
|
Peter Harris <peterjfharris@...>
Hi, can anyone advise on two fuel supply questions:
1. Is gravity feed enough to run the 0-200 with no fuel pump? 2. What is a cheap but OK fuel check valve. Spruce list the Andair rabge for about $50. Are there any OK alternatives? Thanks, Peter

Thanks Sam . That is good news. Would that be a 5/16"feed or will 1/4" do the job?

Jab are running a mech pump and an electric pump in series. Bad idea it doubles the risk of a blockage by jammed valves and would cut off gravity feed. I was planning to keep the mech pump but run a gravity feed direct to the carb with the pump in parallel. But would need a stop valve to prevent fuel recirculating. The Spruce listed Andair stop valve looks good but $50 seems a lot to pay? Peter.

Yes . The mech pump is mounted so high it stops the gravity flow to the carb . That is why I will go direct. The only advantage of keeping the pump is to cover if the fuel vent gets blocked.The mech pump came with the engine. I will have to find the 50 bucks I guess.

Yes Ryan. It was called a Q2-100 with the Norton. Now a Q-200 with the Jabiru 3300.

Thanks Mike . I have 5/16 from the header so It should work OK . If I keep the fuel pump in parallel Then I am covered . It might be better to quit the high mounted mech pump and use my vac pump mounted low.

Using 3/8" lines has fared well for many of us. Also, minimizing the number

of fittings used will minimize the fuel's resistance to flow. I think the MA3-SPA carb has an inlet pressure limitation of something like 6 PSI, so be careful with your mechanical pump. IMHO, lighten and simplicate by ditching the mechanical pump. Then you'll get to save 50 bucks, too. Sam _____ From: Q-LIST@...

I'm operating with 1/4" fuel lines but have a straight downhill run to the carb and am careful to keep my fuel lid sealed... I'd rather have 3/8 lines but I was flying for years before that became the standard... 20 years in the air and 1000 hours.

I think Sam has to use a 1/2" fuel line as fast as he goes. I think he uses methanol as well as a lil Nitro.
