Europa-List: Re: Power loss, on taxi, vapour locking?

[tennant <barrington.tennant@gmail.com>]

Hi Richard,

I have had the same on a 36deg C day taxying through long grass to the runway 
after
a short stop. (1500 ft high)

I have since routed my fuel lines along the cowling edge away from the engine 
and
sleeved with a silver colored insulating material. Since then I have not had
a problem but I try to use Avgas when the temp is above 30 deg C although this
is not always possible.

Best regards

Barry
