Hello guys

I bet you know this feeling……you are coming into an airport, want to take a break, perhaps a snack, than fuel and then like to continue but…..there is the treat of a hot start lingering over your head.

How many times did you not pray and crank, hopefully it kicks in, tried all the tricks in the book.

Well, I did, and yes until today I was able to crank it, however it took a lot of sweaty hands to do so.

So I did also test flew a Corvallis, and they are having a nice gadget called a purge valve that purges all the fumes out of the fuel system before cranking. So I would love to have this.

Did anybody of you have experience with this? In your 4p or legacy? Would you recommend it?

Thanks — Ronald (42 hours and counting)
