Hi All, It?s been a while since I?ve been on the newsletter
between
work and trying to make progress on the Long EZ. Anyway,
it?s time
for the Fuel system and I wanted to get feedback from the
group on
my design. I attached a PDF of my concept which utilizes 2
different sumps, 1 rear cockpit thigh support/fuel sump and
a 2nd
sump in the hell Hole. The reason for the added sumps is to
try to
recover some of the fuel I will be losing due to installing
Infinity
retractable gear. Anyway, my assumption was a P-Ported 13B
with a
TO4 turbo so the lines need to be able to keep that thirsty
puppy
humming at WOT. I guess it would make about 350hp at WOT.
Anyway,
can you guys take a look and shoot holes and make
recommendations.
I look at the fuel system and Engine installation design as the
most critical systems we develop so I want it to be right.
Thanks
Mike C.
I'd put a fuel drain in the lowest part of each sump where lowest is
when the ship is parked.
I'd put the pumps in the last sump.
I don't see provision for fuel return.
