 |
|
I am still working on FWF on my 801 with a Lycoming O-360. I do not have any experience with the Lycoming, so I am looking for input on the primer system. Do I need it? If I need it, what parts do I need? How is it plumbed in? The engine I have has the lines installed for the system to cylinders 1, 2, and 3. It has a fitting on cylinder #4. See pictures below.
And while we are on the fuel system, I want to know a little more about the vented fuel caps. The fuel caps I recieved are vented and the construction manual mentions: " (Note: Vent tube for the wing tank is required on the bottom of the wing if the fuels caps are not vented). Therefore I did not put vent tubes in my wings. Now after reading the list yesterday, I wonder if I made a huge mistake by omitting them? I looked at Gary Limings website and see that he made a different cap for his tanks: http://www.liming.org/ch801/fuel.html Do I need to do the same thing or will my vented caps work ok???
