I presently (9A) have a fuel filter right behind my electric boost pump. This is all located under my fuel selector valve. Valve is located in front of wing spar as in Vans plans. I have concerns during my condition inspection to open the fuel filter in the cockpit. I have grounded the Plane to a earth ground rod and disconnected the battery. ( thinking of possible static discharge ) (maybe iam over thinking this whole thing). My boost pump and filter is a Andair unit. Can you help me with concerns about this process of the fuel filter inspection. What I should do or not do.
This Aerolab gascolator is described on FlyBoysaccessories.com website which shows the gascolator is installed in the floor of the forward fuselage ( by the wing spar) (I think) and the filter removal is from under the Plane. A drain valve looks to be a option on the bottom of the unit. All of which is outside the Aircraft. Yep I would be willing to change this arrangement that I have for a safer way to check the fuel filters. THANKS
What?s your thoughts,always much appreciated.
