Here's the view through the port baggage bay opening. There are the pumps. I am using an AN "+" fitting to go from the pump1/check valve in to the pump2/check valve out. Thence to another AN "T" and on to the engine. Plenty of testing now, both on the ground and in the air. So far so good. One of these days, I need to get out and do a climb to about 12,000 ft to make sure there's plenty of fuel pressure.]]> rlborger photo Sat, 02 Jan 2010 18:45:13 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6980post.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6980post.jpg.html
Completed the fuel system mods on New Years Day, 2010 01 10. This is a view from the aft looking forward. It's not perfect as I'd like to have two gascolators or filters in the lines from the fuel tank to the selector valve, but it's too late to do this. So this single large gascolator is on the line from the fuel selector valve to the pumps. From there the fuel goes to an AN "T" fitting where it splits between a fuel pump and check valve.]]> rlborger photo Sat, 02 Jan 2010 18:45:13 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_0649.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_0649.jpg.html
2009 10 04 - Spent about 4 hours with my head stuffed into the fuel pump plumbing. Removed most of the stuff in preparation for the rebuilding process later in the week. Parts are to arrive from ACS on Tuesday, less one 2+1 manifold which is on B/O (crap). No word on delivery of the custom hose assemblies.

For Ron P, this is the assembly of an ACS check valve. The white gizmo rests on another O-Ring down in the bowels of the body.

Still trading e-mail with Shefik at UMA concerning the problem with the differential gauge. No resolution yet.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:19 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6695ann.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6695ann.jpg.html
Now I have all the necessary information and I have replied to Shefik with the requested info.

I have also ordered a 4+1 hole and two 2+1 hole manifolds along with six nipples, two hose fittings, a couple plugs and four short lengths of custom 666 hose to properly rebuild the fuel pump system.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:19 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6693ann.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6693ann.jpg.html
I spent about an hour at the hanger this morning opening everything up to gain access to the sender and gauge.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:19 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6690ann.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6690ann.jpg.html
2009 20 03 - I've contacted UMA tech support for help. Shefik replied and requested part numbers and serial numbers for the sender and gauge. ]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:19 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6689ann.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6689ann.jpg.html
Turn on both pumps and the gauge still reads 1. I'd expect better than that. Time to contact UMA and see if they have a suggestion.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:19 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6688ann.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6688ann.jpg.html
Turn on the main pump and the gauge still reads 1.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:19 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6687ann.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6687ann.jpg.html
Add power to the panel and with both pumps off, the gauge reads 1.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:19 +0000 http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6686ann.jpg.html http://www.europaowners.org/gallery2/v/N914XL/album280/album314/IMG_6686ann.jpg.html
Master on, panel power off. Differential pressure gauge reads zero as there's no power applied to it.]]> rlborger photo Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:40:19 +0000
