Re: Fuel system discussion. My recently completed KII (completed FAA
inspection yesterday and waiting for airworthiness cert. in mail) has 2
aluminum wing tanks, flowing downhill to 1.2 gal round alum. header tank
behind seat, then along floor to Facet pump and fuel cutoff valve on cabin
floor then to gascolator on firewall then up to diaphragm pump. I want to
put "red floating ball" used by Mark Napier in the vent line from header
tank to the right wing tank for an indication that wing tanks are empty.
What is a source of the floating ball? I will use fine mesh to keep it in
place. Also I put a single cutoff valve near left wing tank to prevent
backflow from right tank when I want to go with only 7 gallons aboard, so I
won't need to drain 2 tanks before trailering. WHERE IS RED BALL AVAILABLE?
In the future I am considering having an eight gallon tank made to go behind
the right seat. This will mean I will disconnect the right flaperon control
when folding wings. Any comments on that idea? Do not archive
