A bit of heat
http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...g+Roots&page=2
Look for cloud dancers post about mid page on Page#2 ( post #15) If you search the other specific RV models forums for "Gascolators in Wing Roots" you may find photos of finished installs. There have been some very neat and clean and serviceable installations posted. Depending on where and how cold you plan on flying..... a bit of heat is not a bad thing. For example, ice crystals can form in LL100 if it is cold enough and those can block a fine enough mesh filter. A gascolator on the firewall can be a lifesaver if ever you did have this situation present itself vs blocked flow if in the wing roots. If a sumer only machine, I am all for the wing root location. You can sample the wing sump drains and the gascolator quick drains with one squat per side. Some homebuilts have header tanks inside the firewall. The heat muff and cockpitt heat keeps the fuel nice and warm if flying in serious cold temps -20C and colder. Best of Luck |
tech info welcome!
Nice of Scott to chime in....but it makes me wonder if the inline is considered a 'pre-filter' at x microns, and the gascolator would be the final filter? ( carb'd)
....or is the screen size not that relevant if we are only talking water? ( am I the only one reading this thread that really, really, is having trouble feeling sympathy for guys building -14's?):rolleyes: |
