Hi,
I'm a dealer for MGL Stratomaster, see www.partsforaircraft.co.uk I'm also a
Jabiru builder and owner/flyer (sorry it's not a Europa but my garage wasn't
big enough). I'm suprised by some of the comments made here about the flow
sender. The current model being supplied has a fuel bypass chamber to prevent
blockage should the rotor become jammed. The by-pass chamber is clearly visible
by looking down the inlet pipe. I have one in my aircraft and my PFA inspector
has accepted it. It's the same sender that ST Aviation (UK Jabiru dealer)
supply with their in-house fuel computer.
There was an issue with the older style rotating vane senders where no facility
existed for flow by-pass should the rotor get blocked or jammed by debris in
the fuel. The PFA required (at the time) a fuel by-pass system for that type.
In any case, a fuel filter should be fitted in the fuel line and it should be
installed before the fuel sender regardless of type.
Oh, and by the way, the Stratomaster fuel guages will work with any sender and
the 2 1/4" FF-2 and 3 1/2" FF-3 can handle differential flow created by Rotax
fuel return.
Regards,
Paul
