RFguy Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 The one that keeps me awake at night me is the fuel water test outlet(s) going open.... or not closing well. depending on where they are , I like to turn on the aux pump and check my fuel drops are not leaking- for some aircraft that have a drop in front of the firewall . Jabiru : Yes, trying to (verify) out how much fuel you have on the Jabiru means about 10 minutes looking at them regularly and taking an average ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueadventures Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Can / will happen over time. I carry a spare new unit (Curtis brand) and a couple of suitable size 'o' rings ('o' rings will work as a temporary fix); for just in case I notice or become aware of such a drain valve leak during an away trip or at D.I. check I can do some maintenance and be away again. My tool and spare kit is just over 4 kg but happy to carry at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 I'm interested in these as I don't have fuel gauges and no way to have a sight gauge. I do have the Sav header tank which should give me a flashing LED when there's no more wing tank fuel coming in to it, but that's it (apart from, obviously, dip stick & fuel flow calculator). Should order them from Ali Express, they might make it here next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyDrain Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Recently I have been getting bits to NZ from Aliexpress in 2 weeks. Of course there are the odd bits that take 2 months or never arrive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
