hI GUYS, This is a reply to all , I had the vapor lock problem last week that got me in a grass field. I've since done the switch to Av gas as a precaution. The AP (Also my flight instructor, I'm a student) wouldn't let me take it back up until he did it first. He went up Friday afternoon and went for better than an hour doing everything he could to stress the engine into a recurrence. It flew just fine. I'm replying to all because the way my email comes in,I get every message two or three times and I can't figure out who the question asker is most of the time. I had problems with fuel venting out the wing tanks when I first got my coupe. I have the 30 gallon wing tank conversion and the header tank is gone. I got the fix from this forum and it worked perfect and immediate. On the caps for the wing tanks, plug the existing hole in the leading edge if the cap fin and then drill a hole through and through from side to side to restablish the vent. Do this on both caps. My fuel venting dissapeared. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Percy Wood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'Bob Saville '" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[email protected]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 12:04 AM Subject: RE: [COUPERS-TECH] [COUPERS] 87 Octane Gas > ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- > > At 05:04 PM 4/21/02 -0800, Pete Thomson wrote: > > I would sure appreciate some > >feedback from all of you, do you have vented or unvented caps on wing tanks > >and or the nose tank?
