KR> Gascolator Cooling

2009-10-13 Thread Jeff Scott
Vapor lock is common in almost all fuel injected aircraft engines, but it's not the gascolator that overheats. It's because the fuel injection distribution block is sitting on top of the hot engine, so gets heated enough to easily boil the fuel following engine shut down. Thus the hot start p

I agree with Dan, cooling your gascolator in a tightly enclosed cowling is important. A friend of mine crashed his KR because of vapor lock, he did not have cooling to his gascolator and was doing touch and goes. Not enough cooling air flowing to save him. Larry H. __

Cooling air flow over/through the engine is indeed determined by the pressure differential at the engine. However, in the apples-to-apples comparison don't loose sight where that pressure differential comes from. There is the ram air due to the hurricane force winds hitting the front of the co

2009-10-13 Thread Dan Heath
Cooling the gascolator ( fuel system in general ) is a good idea. I cool my gascolator with a 1/2 SCAT tube coming off the air in the baffled area. I see no reason why your NACA inlet won't work, but don't put any stock in that. Check http://www.vansaircraft.com/index.htm For NACA vents and othe
