Folks,
Many posts and threads here on VAF mention the Canadian, or MD-RA "requirement" of needing a gascolator either with a carburated or fuel injected engine.
I don't want to start a debate about the need or no-need of the gascolator versus the different engine choices.
As it goes, from reading posts and acknowledging first hand witnesses, the MD-RA requires a gascolator. Some might question if it's still relevant in some cases.
Being in the planning/building stage of my fuel system (see this post), and after Kevin Horton's post in my thread, I propose to find out if in fact a Canadian certified aircraft with a fuel injection system is flying without the gascolator.
If anyone out there aware of this, can it be shared here?
If there is, it might conclude to having the record set straight about this between the MD-RA, Transport Canada and home-builders about this "requirement".
If in fact, there is no such certified aircraft, so be it... At least we will know where we stand.
Thanks,
