Remi,
The Rotax manual shows a principle, not one that is optimal for all actual
installations. Different aircraft will have different under-the-cowl
arrangements, different cool air flows under the cowl, etc. Europa shows
another arrangement, which of course is better but I cannot say by how much
or whether it will matter. The difference in fuel tube length at high vs low
flow velocity is small, and if the tube is placed in a heat shield the
increase in vapour lock risk may be acceptable.
Regards,
Svein

Svein,
I basically agree with what you wrote. However my proposed schematic
is very close to the one recommanded (and optionally supplied) by
Rotax in the 912 Install Manual (see attached). This arrangement works on
most LSAs so I do not see why it would not work with the addition of the
fuel flow sensor as propsed.

Remi Guerner
