Nop, different shape.

I think i found out where they are supposed to fit, they cover the parachute bridles in the roof against the wing.

I felt really dumb yesterday when i tried to circulate fuel but pump did not deliver, so i sucked and nothing happened, until i noticed wrong polarity on pumps, anyway fuel taste awful.

 

It seems i have ordered wrong pumps, they deliver 140L/h@4bar, i need 120l/h@3bar, how great is that, i took bosch article number and crossreferenced it to a another brand and got wrong, so now i got 2 new genuine bosch pumps on its way.

What are those tank cap breathers?

Tank vents, they let air in and little out and close when the fuel flow out.

 

 

Posted
intersting, how do they work?

Well its a flow valve, i can suck allot of air in , blow very little out until it closes when i blow to much, see the tiny hole....

 

 

Posted

Does the hole face into the air flow then to give you your positive pressure in the tanks? That could work the same as the angle cut on the bottom of the supplied fuel breather tubes.

No idea, do i need positive pres?

So ive been having problem with my fuel preassure, after pumps it was 3,7 bar, so i found out i had diff manuf 4 bar pumps and they should be 3 bars, so i wasted another 120 euro and bought two genuine pump only to find out i still got 3,7 after fuel pumps, on a whim i measured after engine and got 2,5bar at the fuel regulator. why?

 

And for some reason my efis measures 1 bar wrong?!? adn there is no settings to calibrate it? what on earth, am i not ment to fly this year?

 

Another annoying thing, i have 2 flow meters to, one ahead of engine and one after so i can see total usage, flow meters 1 & 2 work perfect on input 1 on engine monitor but i get nothing on input 2? so therefore i cant see total usage, MGL has a efis simulator and i tried doing the same there, and get the same problem, now i know it isnt user error.

 

Ohh and does anyone know why my efis fuel pressure meter shows 1 bar too much? 011_clap.gif.c796ec930025ef6b94efb6b089d30b16.gif

The tube through the wing is cut at an angle. The angle can be adjusted to vary the pressure in the tank right down to negative pressure not letting the fuel feed out of the tank if you cut it the wrong way.

So i had som issues with my fuelsystem, it was a hoseclamp for a firesleeve that blocked the incoming line, so now i have bought two new fuel pumps extra for no need and moved sensors around on the fuel line for no need, allot of work.

I took a baloon to leaktest the pitot and static and all is well, 184 km/h in the hangar is nice.

I also mounted those two consoles where i think they are supposed to be.

Bottomplate has camlocs,

And finaly, first engine run, did not get any good readings on oil pressure so have to look it over.

I am interested how it will go with the D Motor in the long run.

I had to muck around with my Rdac for the oil pressure on mine to get it right. I think it was the 5v and where I connected the resistor.

Ran the engine for a good 15 minutes, oil pressure went up to 5 bar and then settled to 2,1bar as temp went up, oiltemp didnt go over 68C, water went up to 101C then i turned on the watercabin heater and temp went down a few degrees, the funnel for the watercooler on the cowl is missing so, really nice...

Its now ready, now lets begin final checks and flight testing.

Thought that was blood on the floor but there is no crime scene tape so you must have got away with it.

Actually is is blood from my aircraft 007_rofl.gif.8af89c0b42f3963e93a968664723a160.gif (oil)

Woo hoo! So close, do have permit to fly?

No do i need that? ,, kiddin ,, no not yet, there are some rigorous checks and groundtests before that shit can happen.
