open the oil filler door/dipstick access Darren That does work well, I have two mates with Corby Starlets fitted with very tightly cowled Jabiru 2200, they both use that idea when they shut down. It also removes the heat from the paint on the cowl faster. Phil Matheson SAAA Ch.

My friend George who built the one and only GP5 uses Airflow on his small block Chevy installation and has never had a vapor lock issue, but I suppose that's because it's a liquid cooled engine and not an air cooled issue? Fred Johnson Reno, NV --Jeff wrote: Some have a pressure relief valve,

2009-10-14 Thread Jeff Scott
Some have a pressure relief valve, but running the pump will also usually flood the engine. Airflow Performance has a manual purge valve so you can circulate fuel through the flow divider back to the tank, but that still doesn't cool the stainless steel lines from the flow divider to the cylind

Jeff, correct me if I am wrong, but don't fuel injected engines typically have a return line back to the tank because the system has to be at a constant pressure, so under low load or idle situations fuel is being dumped bank into the tank? If so, couldn't the fuel pump be allowed to run a few min

A nifty idea that I was once told can also help here. It is a good idea to open the oil filler door/dipstick access and pull the dipstick up to hold the door open and leave that way for about 5 minutes after shutdown. Firstly it allows heat out of the cowl and introduces a natural flow through the

Scott is absolutely right. As soon as you shut down the engine you lose your cooling airflow and the temp between the top of the engine and cowl starts going up quickly and cooks the fuel in the distribution block and the line going to it. I used to teach pilots to open their cowls to promote
