Members,



(I have asked this (via email) twice of USJabiru, but still no reply...)  I figured if anybody knew, they would.



Have 601XL, and am placing gascolator and fuel pump on outside, lower right firewall.  Bingelis speaks about putting a aluminum or galvanized cover over these to prevent vapor lock.  



Has anybody on the forum had any vapor lock issues with 3300 due to heat?  



thanks,



Mike

None, and my gascolator is in the same place on an HDS.  No shielding - 

though if it makes you feel better go ahead and install one.  One of Tony's 

books has a great diagram and a picture of a heat shield on a Piper a/c.  I 

often run auto gas too, FWIW.

 We are a build center for the fabulous Arion Lighting...which is associated  with USA Jabiru.

  

 check www.greenlandings.com  for video,  chose the Owners Gallery.

  

 Of the 50 or so Lightnings flying, I know of none with vapor lock   problems....and no cover over the gascolator or Facet fuel pump.    They are tightly cowled and have both gascolater and boost fuel pump mounted on  the firewall.

  

 The engine fuel pump and the carb are mounted rather low on the  engine.  They are the first to receive cool air on the  ground.    In flight there is plenty of air moving around  them.

  

 I would ignore Tony in this case.

Mike:



We had our fuel pump in the same place and my building partner  

fabricated an aluminum heat shield around it.  We never had a vapor  

lock problem and had several takeoffs over 100F.  If you wish I can  

email you a picture.
