Today, during my lesson, my plane and engine flew perfectly, but after landing at one airport, on takeoff I glanced at my Skyview and it showed fuel pressure REALLY low, like 1.9, bouncing around there, 1.9 to 2.1, but running fine, and 2 minutes after taking off it was back up to 5.6-5.8.
I've checked, and usually have 5.8 with both pumps running, 5.6 with the electric fuse pulled, and the electric pump alone (plane off) gives about 3.6lbs by itself.
I'm thinking maybe a bad sensor or bad connection to the sensor. This is the second flight after it's annual, and it decides to act up in a couple different ways.
Funny how that is, as I doubt the two issues I had today are in any way due to the annual or anything the mechanic did, heck, I was there and helping for the engine part of the annual!
I'm going to wiggle all the connections (first thing to always do, that, or hit it with a hammer) and hope to never see those low pressures again!
Anyone else experience anything like this?
