Re: [FlyRotary] Re: EFI Pumps
You just want me to
spend more money that I don’t have :). All my fuel filters and fuel
pumps are below tank level, so there is not much suction, but gravity
fed. Have you seen Finn’s fuel lines? He is my hero.

I know you're kidding, but my polyurethane tubing has been holding up
well. About 5 years.
However, I would not use them in a high-pressure fuel system (well,
maybe I would...).
Also, I just found the source of my fuel pressure problem this last
weekend. After a bit of a crosscountry I noticed an oilstreak along the
left side of the airplane. Couldn't find an oil leak, but noticed a few
drops under the airbox. Probed around a bit further and found that one
of the fuel lines near the firewall had what looked like cracks in it.
Replaced the fuel line and fuel pressure back to normal at altitude.
Best theory is that at sea level the surrounding pressure was enough to
keep the hose intact, but at altitude it would start leaking enough to
drop pressure.
Yes, yes, Ed. I know, you told me so.
