|
|
Now that I am flying, I like everyone else flying, am concerned with a clogged filter. It is a big job to get down in the tunnel and disassemble the filter only to find that it is OK. Since filters clog progressively and not all at once, I measured the fuel flow by taking the fuel line off of the injector servo and connecting it to a hose that I drop the other end into the gas tank. I then turn on the boost pump and read the fuel flow. Mine started out at 42 gph and has not changed since I started flying. This gives me peace of mind without all the disassembly. If the flow drops below 40 gph I can then go and clean it. Though I would pass along this time saving tip.
