 |
|
Well I unfolded the right wing today and sure enough, the vent tube was
pinched. So I went to the local hardware store and found an ELL fitting that
would work so I'm hopeful the problem is solved. As far as the type of lines
I'm using the vent tube is the yellow tygon tubing and the fuel lines
running down to the header tank do not say Mil 6000 on them although I'm
still not sure what they are. I did see the letters SAE on them. I'd like to
thank all those who responded to my question. It's really great to have such
a wealth of knowledge just a few mouse clicks away. Now if I could just
learn to type. Thanks god for spell check!!

Roger,
In my opinion, it's better to see SAE than MIL on those lines. MIL is
ugly. I haven't followed your problem as close as I should have but I would
be willing to bet that a pinched vent line would have nothing to do with one
wing tanks feeding faster than the other. That is if we are talking about
the vent line that runs from the header up to the right tank. You can take
that line and tie a knot in it and it should not affect the fuel flow from
the wing tanks. Let us know how things turn out. Fuel flow has be a
difficult question since the beginning. However, there is an old saying
that works very well in this situation, "Water seeks it's own level", and
that works for gas too.
Good luck,
Don Smythe
