Tim: I am not sure, but I think the new gascolator from Skyport is to be mounted on the firewall...
Lynn Nelsen
Some coupes with firewall-mounted gascolators have suffered vapor lock problems. This is serious...even more so if you use autogas. Proper slope of fuel lines is a consideration in locating a firewall mounted gascolator; proximity of exhaust system components another.
Does Skyport include a 337 specifying gascolator firewall location? Does it diffe between Stromberg and Marvel installations??
I found the following pertaining to Marvel installations:
1. Alon Service Bulletin No. 12 applies to Serials A-2 through A-204. (Alon mounted their
gascolators BELOW the carburetor!)
2. Mooney Bulletin A-19 [M-10-1] (All Forneys, Alon A-2, Alon/Mooney A2A and Mooney M-10
thru 690008). (I believe F-1s had carb-mounted gascolators, per fuel system diagrams)
Haven't had a COUPERS - FLYIN email since 3/8/04...need I re-subscribe, Tom?
