seat tank

[Echo 2]

Need some help - the two plastic seat tanks I have on the tandem don't have the clear hose on the sides for fuel level . What I need to know is the best way to instal the fittings into the tank ie: drill & tap & screw in some brass 90 deg barbs , or glue in some push-in plastic male ends ?

Thanks

get one of them "Turtle pak" bizos as well, i got a 40L one, strap it into your back seat, plumb it in, they are aero certified too.
Yet to use mine, but it looks the goods..............O yea, cost a grand.

Thanks.
The two seat tanks should be enough , I'd be looking for a p1ss stop by then :silvia:.
Just in the process of plumbing up tanks ; got a fuel flow sensor to hook up to Flight 11 instrument , Muz helped me out where to locate it ( :moon: no , not there....) in relation to getting an accurate reading.

The only thing you will be flying in to the next nats will have a big red kangaroo on the tail and they have toilets on board. :fingers:

Eric, I meant Russ. By the time Rod puts all the bells and whistles on Russ's gyro Russ will be in the nursing home dribleing and trying to con onto 90 year old female inmates. :hug: Rod will be in an adjoining room.
As for your fuel tank gauge, just drill and tap the very top of the tank,put in a 90* barb and run the sight gauge to a T piece at the bottom outlet. As the top one doesnt come in much contact with fuel(you never fill it to the brim anyway) it wont leak.Put a bit of fuel resitant goo or liquid thread tape if you want. And before anyone says it will suck air when the fuel gets low, it wont.
Wont be able to give you much more advice Eric, Im now under contract with PB to go to Ballarat for a month to do a full re-engineer of Flame Chook. :peace:

Geee's Murray, When I first met you I thought you were a good bloke, but to know hear you will be helping P.B with his Firebird "free of charge for a month" well thats fantastic of you. In my books that now makes you a fantastic bloke!!!!!!! :pelvic_thrust2: :pelvic_thrust2: :pelvic_thrust2:

Hard to imagine those two together for a month , Sam :punch: :chuckel: . Maybe they will become good friends :hug: :eyebrow: :hug:

Thanks Muz , all done . Got a BSP tap & put the brass barb fittings in , doubt if they will leak as they went in fairly tight :clap:

Sam, Me a good bloke??, you must be thinking of someone else. Maybe if you send Paul a photo of your gyro and said Paul,copy this thrustline etc, I wouldnt be arguing with the big galoot all the time.

Eric,you shoud have been at Lamaroo,you would have seen me shake hands with Paul and even a bit of a hug,in a non sexual way of course. :hug:

[Gyrodes]

Yeh heard on the grape vine you and PB slept in close proximity too :hahano: :paper: Des Garvin

[Murray Barker]

Yes ok I admit it , I SLEPT WITH PAUL BRUTY. Now you all know.




P.s. The hanger was about 30x30, him one end ,me the other. :Bat1:
