Default RE: Fuel system air


ORIGINAL: David Gladwin

I used a standard Dubro clunk with a wrap of lead sheet around the pipe as a sinker, a system I have used in many other jets.
Haven't yet run the engine but will tomorrow.

Not bothered about loss of filtering as my fuel is extremeley well filtered BEFORE it gets into the tanks using an orbit clunk in the refuelling tank then a Festo fliter and after the pump a Jet Cat filter. THEN it goes into the model. There is a Festo filter before the fuel pump and of course the last chance filter in the engine cowl.

Regards, David Gladwin.

david you will have the same problem soon
you are filling your tanks with bubbles in your fuel , the clunk for refilling will do the same and pump oxygen in the fuel
and later settles down wiht air in your uat.
the dubro clunks ARE the ones i mean , i guess they shop at the same adres as most of us do..
