Subject: Re: electrical wiring for Kitfox 1



I actually had the same thing happen on my 66 C-150 when I changed the  



battery. I repaired a small wire that I thought I broke while removing  



the battery. It turned out that when I had the plunger type ignition  

replaced with a push button the wire was no longer needed and was cut  



into but never removed. The ignition was heavy duty so it was not  

effected by my bad.

Subject: RE: sight glass fuel indicator?

The AN series aluminum reducers would work better than brass, I'd think.

Taps are tapered, so you could size the threads smaller than normal, and get

a good "bite", such that the adhesive would only serve to seal it and

hold

it in place.



BTW, I slip to feed the header in the exact same way. But my fuel  system is

designed to detect header feed and level, not so much fuel level in the

tanks.



Because I run a fuel injected engine which requires pressure, I have a flow

sender that tells me flow into the header, and a level switch in the header

tank to detect anything less than full. With this setup, no fuel flow

indication means my header is not getting filled, and I wait for the light

to come on, which indicates about 45 minutes of run time remaining at that

point.



It works nicely, in that I can do whatever is required to keep feeding the

header tank (slip, etc.) and when the light goes on, I have VFR fuel

reserve, and need to land. I know that at 21 in/hg, I flow about 2.2gph, so

less flow indicates no header feeding, such as a blockage. More flow

indicates the header has gotten low, and is refilling itself. Either way,

the fuel pump is sending fuel to the engine.



Actually, my fuel tank level  senders are superfluous, and only serve to

provide an estimate of fuel level in flight. I use them more on preflight to

determine whether refueling is necessary. On my new Model three, I'm going

to do both senders and sight gauges, just for redundancy, and neither is

hard nor expensive to do.
