I installed a basic Vans fuel selector and now have about 35 hours on my RV-9A. The fuel selector seems to be much stiffer now than before I first put fuel in the aircraft and the stiffness does not seem to be improving over time (3 months). Perhaps the stiffness is caused by the cold (below 50 degrees) fuel making the internal nylon valve stem hard or perhaps it just needs more time to ‘break-in’. Maybe the valve is defective and needs replacing? What have others experienced with the standard Vans fuel selector? Does the stiffness eventually get better, does it vary with temperature?
I know, I know how great the Andair fuel selector is but I don’t have one and don’t plan on buying one in the near future.
