 |
|
Hello
Can anyone help me confirm the correct routing of the fuel lines on a ch601 hd
with a header tank and one wing tank. On my aircraft, the wing tank joins
a "T" where one end of the "T" goes into the bottom of the main tank, and the
other end goes into the upper part of the tank. I am assuming that the upper
line was originally designed for the vent tube but I am not sure. The main
tank has a vented fuel cap, and the plane runs and flys fine but it is one
question that I have always been curious about. I dont know if the upper hose
was connected to the "t" and therfore the wing tank line by mistake from the
previous owner, or if there is a good reason it is done this way that I dont
yet understand....

Hi,
I'd suggest you hook the wing tank line to a pump that feeds the top of
the header tank. What you
describe seems to say the engine feeds from both. That seems awkward for
a fuel system. If you can
turn the wing tank line on or off and pump fuel to the engine from only
the header the system will be easier
to keep track of and trouble shoot.
