Well I seem to have stared a very small debate about whether I should
actually have a fuel pressure gauge.
But that was never in doubt for me, I have always intended to use one.
The question was. Are almost everyone using a mechanical gauge or are most
using an electrical gauge
I don't really k
Gav,
If I were using one, it would definitely be Electrical. No more fuel access
in the cockpit than necessary.

There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for building
has expired.

I've got a near-zero time HAPI engine with a POSA carb. This rig was
acquired for my old scrapped T2 project. Right now, it's mounted on
an engine stand and attached to a full set of remote controls. I
built a box with key switch electric starter, mag, electronic
ignition, alternator switches,
Dan,
Check the fuel pressure requirements for the POSA. The Ellison requires
2-6psi. Gravity feed provides about 1.0 psi for every 30" of head. The
bottom of the fuel tank would need to be 60" above the injector to get the
minimum required 2 psi. Just a thought. I like your idea of running
The Revmaster carb requires not more than 0.5 psi (15") to avoid flooding.
I believe the POSA is the same.

Not to sound antagonistic, but any carb that only requires more than .5 psi to
hold the needle off its seat is in my book a bad carb. All the automotive
carbs I have ever dealt with can stand anywhere from 3 to 7 psi without
flooding, provided the needle and seat is in good condition. Most mec
Colin this is not a carb, it has no float. It mixes the gas immediately
with out storing it in a fuel bowl, the needle is adjusted mechanically
via the sliding guillatine. Because of it's simplicity I feel it is
superior to a run of the mill carb. I did have some problems with getting

I changed the subject to reflect the new question asked. Sorry I duplicated
my answer but the original poster did not change the subject reference.
That all depends on which carb you are using. I am using a regulator on
mine. Since I am using wing tanks and the Corvair mechanical fuel pump puts

Where did you get the regulator?

And what brand is the regulator?

I'd like to add a cent or two about fuel pressure regulators. I recently
removed a regulator from my type 4 2000. The regulator is a flow through type
that has a dial on the top that

Netters,
Does anyone know what fuel operating pressure the Zenith carbs work on? I
contacted Zenith and they refuse to tell me what the operating fuel pressure
is, because I mentioned, you guessed it, it is on an airplane. They claim
theirs is only designed for industrial applications, so they r
