I'm selling off some of my "stock" of spare parts that don't fit my Cherokee. I inherited most of them from an airport "old timer" years ago, and they've been sitting around ever since. I thought I'd give some of the newsgroup people a chance to make an offer before I Ebay them. I'll...

Shares are available in a small SF Bay Area club with 2 aircraft, a pristine1974 Beech Bonanza, and a solid 1974 Cessna 172. Check out the link below for more information. http://makeashorterlink.com/?M2DF326C6 To email, remove zxyzNOSPAMzz

The club to which I belong has a 1978 Cessna R182 RG Skylane. This airplane has the long-range tanks (80 gallons total, 75 gallons usable - both tanks). I'm looking for a fuel dip stick that can be used with this airplane. I found the following J-Air FuelHawk at My Pilot Sto ...

I posted this question in the "Fuel dip tube for Piper Warrior?" thread, but it seems to have gotten lost. Does anyone have dip tube data for the straight-wing PA-28's, or are the fuel tanks the same as the taper-wing versions? Thanks. -- Bob (Chief Pilot, White Knuckle Airways) I don't have to...

Is there a fuel dip tube available for the Piper Warrior II (specifically, pa28-161)? When I flew the 172 I used a fuelhawk dip tube to measure how much fuel I had. In the warrior there are tabs in each tank at 17 gals but other than that it seems like guesswork. I sure would like to find a way...

Snarly Charlie, the 182, has the classic "Cessna drip" from the fuel vent when the tanks are filled and the hangar gets warm. I've tried everything I know to stop it, but all I can do with all the mechanical fixes is slow it down. I'm getting ready to patch the asphalt under the drip and paint...

Just saw an article by AP. It seems that Auburn University has made a breakthrough in fuel cell research. They now have a practical way of catalytically separating the hydrogen from the carbon and sulphur in conventional fuels such as diesel. When used in a vehicle equipped with a fuel cell, fuel...

Flyers, While flying to FL from NJ last week I did what I always do and fly ROP by 75 to 100 degrees. This is how I was trained and my CFII is also my A&P / IA. I know enough about LOP to know I will not operate LOP without an engine analyzer and probably GAMI injectors which I do not yet...

* This is an outgrowth of the hot starting fuel injection thread For those of you who have JPI or EDI fuel flow monitoring: a) how many flights did you make before it was "calibrated"? b) how much variance do you see from flight to flight? b1) do you fly approximately the same altitudes/power...

I just bought a Helio Courier and the fuel guages (actually one guage with a four position switch) don't work very well. Since different tanks seem to work differently I assume that the problem is in the sender or the wiring. Where should I start? does anybody know what the resistance range...

I was curious how much fuel injection and variable spark timing reduces fuel consumption and increase power in an airplane engine. Auto engine data does not help because auto engines are run over a wide range of conditions, wereas an aviation engine typically runs at cruise power and can...

From time to time pilots have observed fuel stains on the nosewheel wheelpant of our club's 172SP. The only time I have actually seen fuel dripping from the engine was when I watched a pilot turn the auxiliary fuel pump on for what seemed to me to be an excessively long period of time. The fuel...

Anybody have any preferences between the clear fuel lube in a tube and the older, tan, waxy type you get in a can? I am about to service a poorly-accessible fuel selector valve and want to use the longest-lasting stuff. -- Remove _'s from email address to talk to me.

I'm leaning towards installing a fuel flow monitor. Either the JPI FS 450 or the Shadin Microflo-L Since I have only a 2 1/4 hole open I've kind of settled on one of these two. Any comments pro or con? Thanks Paul

I saw an interesting presentation on C-span yesterday by an analyst from Deutsche Bank. He made the following points. 1. Average prediction from multiple sources of oil prices: $60 for 2006, $40-50 after. Consensus is a 10% chance of future oil at $20, also a 10% chance of $100. 2. The...

We just got a new load of fuel yesterday and the price jumped from $2.94 per gallon to $3.52 per gallon for 100LL. I will have to pull the MP back a little more. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP KSWI

I did some checking around my area today (thanks www.100ll.com) about what the fuel prices are, and was surprised to learn that my home base (KTYQ) is charging $4.47 (the highest in the area), and that includes our based-on-the-field discount. That is up around $1.00 from a little over a year ago...

I'd like a consensus opinion from the newsgroup denizens who use any of the popular "fuel pricing" websites as to the one that they find the most accurate. My personal favorite over the last few years has been Airnav, but I'm willing to be persuaded that there is better. Reason being, about...
