In respect of recent posts on omitting the return fuel line transducer - a related issue is what is happening in that line. We had been operating 'merrily' for maybe a year or more with ZERO return flow due to unknown complete blockage of FS02 restrictor. Not an ideal situation! After this was discovered during our belated 5 year swap-out of all the hose, we got to thinking that monitoring flow in this line would be a good idea, if perhaps the non-zero rate from return transducer could be displayed, or checked in preflight?

From rotax agent comes an easier solution - watch for a rapid drop in fuel pressure after engine shutdown, not seen if FS02 is blocked. Apologies to all who already know this.

Just yesterday visited with former europa man Jos Okhuijsen in remote N. Finland - thanks for your hospitality Jos, and for educating me some more!
