Imho the Skydrive carb heat is the only sensible way to go. Similarly an Andair or equivalent quality gascolator is also the only sensible way to go, really you need two gascolators, which is expensive, but I would go with one and a Purolator one in the reserve line. Then it is easy to check for water and muck before every day's flying. which (other people's) experience tells us is a vital action.

Luc,
The skydrive installation is a minor job, if all goes well, but the tolerances are very tight and when I did mine I was very relieved that the
unit did not get stuck half way.
I don't think you need a gascolator, but would recommend fitting one.

Hi Graham,
Agreed on both points.
Luc will need to install a Skydrive or similar to satisfy Transport Canada on the carb heat.
You do need a press or large vise to install the Skydrive and my own feeling is this is best left to a Rotax dealer as it could really
spoil your day if a screw up occurs.
I've never picked up any water or crud in my Andair, however a friends filtered out some very strange algae type substance.
He realised he had a problem when he noticed the fuel pressure dropping while in flight.

Hi Dave
most contamination gets in when fuel is added. Rust from Jerry cans is not uncommon, also algae from old fuel. You really need separate filters so that if one blocks you have a get down safely reserve. 914s tend to be more of a problem because of the high flow rate.

Hi Graham,
It was a 914.
We have both tried using filter funnels while fueling, however the process is painfully slow, so we are back
to using fuel straight from plastic jerry cans. We use Shell premium which has been very clean, and in Ontario
there is no ethanol in it
