Default RE: Smoke in the Turbine duct P-80


Thanks Mr Matt,

I opened the front cover of thr P-80, noted sonme fuel dripping signs at the bottom of the cover, for wath I can see, it could com from the Filter/restrictor line that feeds the berings, the rubber line was jus over the filter/restrictor barbers, not well in, came off easy, I did replace the line being very carefull, I used transparent Festo 4 mm ID Line that I have used for other places ( pup out) instalation, I have only the concern of temperature, I dont know how hot can get in that place anf if the line will hold or if I need special line.

I also notted a trace of fuel at the festo connector just where the fuel line enters the Turbine, I made sure that the line is well in now.

I have not tested the engine till now, probably this coming weekend.

I just want to keep ypu inform.

Best Regards,
