![]() I've heard that the gravity fed fuel systems don't seem to experience the vapor locking and I've never experienced carb ice in any vehicle but my VW. I'd think a pressure system would be more immune than gravity fed. Roger (K8RI) ARRL Life Member N833R (World's oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com I think If it sucks it's more immune but if it blows it's less. That's why new cars have the pump in the tank. Unfortunately most planes don't. |

Unfortunately most planes don't. My Model A Ford's gravity flow system never had problems. I have had two fuel tank pump failures in "modern" cars. I agree with Ronger, a gravity fuel system seems to work well in high wing airplanes.
