This seemed like a good time to ask whether all of the coupes are supposed to have a fuel shutoff to the fuel pump down under the seat. I have one on my 1946 415C under the front of the seat on the right side, but the folks across from my hangar apparently do not have one, at least not in the same place. Theirs is a 1947 CD. I thought that it might have been covered up by their interior or perhaps even removed. They said they could find no sign of it. Anybody know if the CD came with it in the same place?

Is this the correct forum to ask about the potential for a fire if the mechanical fuel pump ruptures in the middle and sprays fuel onto the engine. If anyone has experienced this with or without a fire would appreciate hearing from them. I noticed a small drops of moisture on my windscreen during taxi on a clear day. Inspection with the engine running saw fuel streaming from the fuel pump onto the prop, back onto the engine and windscreen. Needless to say, back to the hangar and a call to the mechanic. Anyone had similar experience, Ed Bandy 415-CD 433A tail number changed to sound military with the paint scheme, serial number is avail, ED __________________________________________________________________________ __ ____ To unsubscribe from this list please send mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________ Enlighten your in-box. http://www.topica.com/t/15 __________________________________________________________________________ ______ To unsubscribe from this list please send mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________ Enlighten your in-box. http://www.topica.com/t/15
