RE: PST contact?
Hi Kelly,
I flew my first turbine this weekend. Wow! What a thrill! The Reaction 54 and PST 600R combo is awesome.
I used tygon tubing for the fuel system. The nipples on the fuel pump require 4mm tubing. So somewhere in the system the two sizes meet. My manual says to stick the smaller tube into the larger tube 1/2 inch for a leak proof joint. Is there a fitting that joins the two different sizes? I noticed BVM tanks come with 6mm tubing, which has a bit smaller diameter (OD) than the tygon. I like the 6mm tubing because it is clear. So....I want a fitting that joins 6mm tubing to 4mm tubing. What is your recommendation for fuel tubing? Do you have a fuel filter designed for 4mm tubing? The only filters I have available are designed for glow fuel tubing.
I noticed the propane tank wouldn't hold more than one start sequence worth of gas. I used a trigger valve and closed the valve when the gas quit moving to the tank. The gas supply can was in a up right position. Any ideas on why it won't hold more?
What is the fuel consumption rate for the 600R? It really drinks the fuel. I have 54 oz. on board and can obviously use more. Would bringing the Max rpm down on the turbine decrease the fuel consumption enough to make a difference?
Thanks,
Keith
