[rebel-builders] Fuel flow sensor

Post by Walter Klatt » Sun Feb 19, 2012 10:52 am

I use a Floscan and had to switch to a low resistance model when I first did
my fuel flow tests before first flight. Have never had a problem since,
right up to 12,000 feet with mogas. Unfortunately can't remember the model
number, but seem to recall, there were only a couple of choices available.
It did require new calibration numbers on my monitor.

Have to say, too, that would never want to be without mine. Greatest thing
for leaning and getting your engine set up perfectly for most economical
cruise. Also, nice to know exactly how much fuel I have used and my
remaining range.

Have a guy doing a Smith cub that has found his Floscan fuel flow sensor is
restricting his fuel flow to below requirements. I remember someone here
having this issue and solving it. Please share again....THANKS!

[rebel-builders] Fuel flow sensor

Post by Walter Klatt » Sun Feb 19, 2012 10:52 am

Been looking but could not find the original papers. Pretty sure my new one
is a Floscan model 231 which is for higher flows and lower resistance. The
original one is model 201 B-6, and it definitely restricted my flow.
Probably fine for 100 hp or less on gravity feed but didn't meet the max
flow requirements for the 0320. I still have the old one, too, and I know
they are expensive little buggers.

less than what I remember paying for it.

Yes, I did not make the fuel flow requirements with my Elite until I
replaced the sensor. I used the EI Flo FT90 sensor, which is intended
for gravity feed applications. Don't know how standard the interface
for these things is, but it works fine with my Grand Rapids EIS. I
mounted at about 1' ahead of the left door post. The price from Chief
Aircraft in Oct '03 was $275.

Walter Klatt

[rebel-builders] Fuel flow sensor

Post by Walter Klatt » Sun Feb 19, 2012 10:52 am

Not normally, but have been up there a few times. More common is about
10,700 when I take people up to view the Mt Breakenridge glaciers by our
lake cabin, which is from 40 feet above sea level. So my Rebel is very used
to doing long climbs during the summer heat. Nice coming down, though...

I am not sure how high it would go, but was up there with Jason (and he's a
big boy, too) last year, and it was still climbing, although not very fast.
At that level, though, am starting to worry about the big jets coming into
Vancouver, because they cross over there at about that altitude, and we're
right on one of their flight paths.

[rebel-builders] Fuel flow sensor

Post by Walter Klatt » Sun Feb 19, 2012 10:52 am

I might have got that high on our way back from 100 Mile House when I cut
the corner to go over the south part of Harrison Lake. But if I remember
correctly, you followed the Fraser Canyon all the way.

On our way to Nimpo Lake, we went up the coast and then cut through the
mountains at the end of Bute Inlet, which passed by Mt Waddington (BC's
highest mountain), but I think we only went up to about 6500 or 7000 because
of higher clouds, and your preference to tease the grizzlies down below.

The Rockies, BTW, are those smaller mountains in eastern BC and Alberta. Out
here we have the Coast Range which are not only higher, but rise all the way
up from sea level. And there is no way to see them but by plane, since there
are no roads through there, if you remember.

Walter,

Didn't we climb to 9500 crossing the rockies on our way to Nimpo Lake last
time?

Not normally, but have been up there a few times. More common is about
10,700 when I take people up to view the Mt Breakenridge glaciers by our
lake cabin, which is from 40 feet above sea level. So my Rebel is very used
to doing long climbs during the summer heat. Nice coming down, though...

I am not sure how high it would go, but was up there with Jason (and he's a
big boy, too) last year, and it was still climbing, although not very fast.
At that level, though, am starting to worry about the big jets coming into
Vancouver, because they cross over there at about that altitude, and we're
right on one of their flight paths.

Walter,

You don't really fly at 12,000 feet, do you? Don't you live at sea level?
Your making me nervous.

I use a Floscan and had to switch to a low resistance model when I first
did
my fuel flow tests before first flight. Have never had a problem since,
right up to 12,000 feet with mogas. Unfortunately can't remember the model
number, but seem to recall, there were only a couple of choices available.
It did require new calibration numbers on my monitor.

Have to say, too, that would never want to be without mine. Greatest thing
for leaning and getting your engine set up perfectly for most economical
cruise. Also, nice to know exactly how much fuel I have used and my
remaining range.

Have a guy doing a Smith cub that has found his Floscan fuel flow sensor
is
restricting his fuel flow to below requirements. I remember someone here
having this issue and solving it. Please share again....THANKS!

Wayne
