Default RE: HELP!! SuperTiger Gas Conversion Fuel Flow Problem.

Hi Jim, Hi All,

FURTHER UPDATE ON MY PROGRESS!!

Photo #5 below shows the basic Header Tank components ready for assembly.
2 oz Liquitex Plastic tank bottle, filter & 1/8" brass inlet & outlet tubes.

Photo #6 shows the components trial fitted together.
Here you can clearly observe how the bent inlet tube clears the centrally located filter.

Photo #7 shows completed Assembly using Slow Set JB Weld.
JB Weld was first applied around the tubes on the inside of the cover, then on the outside as shown.
Doing this ensures that the pipes are held secure from pressure applied when attaching or removing the
tygon flexible fuel lines.

The header tank will be installed upright in fuselage with inlet/outlet tubes exiting out of the bottom.
The inlet shall be connected to the adjacent main fuel tank.
The outlet from the centrally located pleated paper fuel filter shall be connected to Great Planes Gas
Valve Fueler, then on to the Iron Bay Fuel Regulator, then on to the nearby carb.

Hopefully after the JB Weld fully sets up, I can then plumb the fuel tanks all up in the fuselage above
wing C.G. position.

After installation, I will post my initial results, hopefully I will now have a pressurized system without
the mystery bubbles and the header tank will serve an additional purpose as it has a super fuel filter of
15 ~25 microns........far better than the regular fuel filters used to remove trash.
