I was also thinking of fitting these heaters but was a little put off by
seeing one Europa which had overheated a little. This caused a pipe
feeding the heater to blow off a T piece and all the coolant to drain
out. The aircraft did fly for a while with no coolant but the engine
subsequently had to be replaced. Anyone else had or heard of any
problems with the coolant carb heaters?

Hi
I think the 'not fitting' is a standard feature! Mine required some
work with a file on the carbs to get them a little less of a square peg
and able to fit into the round hole. Another Europa owner on the field
had similar problems.
However, they do work well and its great not having to remember to turn
the thing on and off all the time.
Regards
Pete
