Hi all !
I had an incident of substantial ingress of water once while parked
overnight at Zell Am See in torrential down pour most of the night.
I have adjusted the =9Cpinch=9D on the filler
=9Co=9D Ring and mostly tape up the filler cap if left
outside ever. The aircraft is always kept in it=99s covered
trailer and I try to fly exclusively on Mogas but don=99t leave
it full but I have water drains to both sides of the tank ALSO Mini
Andair filters on both fuel flow lines.. Of course everyone will
remember my misfortune of a restriction at the finger filters once,
at which time Neville Eyre suggested =9CI shave the dog=9D !
but the dog has long gone and I have =9Cimproved the tank finger
filter arrangements=9D . However I have also in the past
discovered some contamination in the thimble filters in the Electric
Pumps ( the removal of these for inspection requires extreme care , can
only be repaired by complete replacement of the Pumps !) Hope
I=99m not tempting providence by writing all this !
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG. 914 Rotax.

Have never seen any water in 13 years, even though I do not regularly
fill tank before putting plane away. Regards, David Joyce, GXSDJ

Hi there All,
Who uses water drain? Who as ever seen water in the fuel there (I use
Mogas only)?
