Hey thanks Oliver!
I am actually starting the work on a UHF screw type fuel cap for 3/16" and 1/4" lines, compatible with the large 1/4" clunk. |
Anyone know what's the ID of the nipples & vent fittings supplied with my BVM KingCat's composite tanks? I want to convert to a Hi Flow fuel system, but am unsure if the Tank hardware would need to be changed. I'm flying a P-160 now, but want the option to install a K230G to test it before putting it into a bigger project.
Thanks, Jay |
uat
so i guess the question for me is ... does a regular BVM UAT tank have enough flow for a jetcat p160 RXI-b ? the 160 is using 17 .oz at full throttle

As long as the 6mm run is not too long (30” max)and the tank fittings are large enough it will be fine |

I'm not against UV systems but without ordering on line , HV stuff can't be bought at the local hobby shop. i'm running all 5/32 tubing with barbed fittings and yes the 6mm fuel line to the turbine is just about 30" . i'm setting up a DV8R . it's funny because back in the beginning with like the 160-180 class, they all used the regular stuff . even the small ball valves that jetcat provided were really small in dia. look at the solenoid valves they used... all small stuff. just made me wonder how they ran if you really NEED the HV stuff now.

Its only because we used to pump the fuel to the engine, now internal pumps mean we suck the fuel to the turbine...and its called a pump...not a suck!
