 |
|
Hi All,
I am fitting my aircraft with a 914 engine and am about to install the
fuel system as per the latest amendment to the Europa Manual (Page 5-3
Nov. 2004). This system includes 2 one way check valves but doesn't
state what brand of valves should be used. Does anyone have a working
system similar to the amendment, and if so, what check valves were
installed? Also did you alter the layout to reduce the amount of T
junctions installed?
Thanks, Ross

Hi Ross,
The Europa fire wall forward for the 914 does contain 2 Andair check valves. The fuel system in kit600 is near completion but does not work yet. It is done in soft alu tubing and AN fittings. I like the bright colors  Pictures at http://www.europaowners.org/kit600 look for fuel system.
Ferg Kyle has drawings in his picture gallery of a manifold based fuel system, and it reduces the amount of T junctions considerably.
Hope it helps, kind regards,
Jos Okhuijsen

You might like you see the attached built for G-IRON. Note manifold on
the left hand side. Practically this was as small as we could get the
layout.

Hello,
Your install is beautifull but...
It is necessary to remove manually the two filters frequently after each fly
because during 100 first flight hours there is some impurity's into the
filters.
Happy new year.

I made a box for 2 Andair 375s that go just behind the baggage bay ribs on
Port side.
BTW anyone with a 375, make sure you lock the in and out 4 countersunk
screws by center punching into the dimples made for this purpose.

I stole ideas for Modular Fuel System from Ian, Ferg and others.
A bit hard to tell from pic but instead of using a "T" to split the in
line, and culminate the out line, I used beautiful injection molded 316L
Stainless Barb "Y"s made by Eldon James.
The outputs of gasculators go to 1 pump and 1 one way. The output of
Modular Fuel System with the yellow cap is one of the "Y"s, the other is
used to split the incoming for the gasculators you can't see in this pic.
Wicks sells nice 90 degree barb fittings, large internal holes and
radiused edges.
The pumps and 1 ways are mounted to port baggage bay rib with 2 pump
clamps (using allen screws) and 1 long screw for the 1 ways with an
aluminium spacer.
