What? No it doesn't hold pressure. Leak detection fluid failed to detect the source of the leak.
-
I understand that- that's the point. That high pressure line is before the shut off valve, so it's a potential leak with the valve off. For $.25 I'll change that oring before sending the valve out for repair.
-
well, I didn't pull the side panel and check there at the gauge yet. I want to replace the cable so I'll check when I take the interior panel off to do that. For 20 cents I'll swap that oring too. I'll find it... eventually..
-
Yes, the gauge line tees off before the shutoff valve kind of where the fill line tees in. Since the tank was recently tested I think a bad or damaged oring is a plausible place to look, and it's cheap. If it's the line to the gauge we have problems.
-
Any idea how I know if the oring is compatible with oxygen?
-
Yes, no evidence of leaking. In fact no evidence of a leak anywhere.
-
We adjusted the rigging of the cable to ensure the valve is off, we can't find any leaks so next test is to replace the oring as it's still leaking with the valve fully off.

We run a battery minder (non aviation) on dual gills at all times.

Filing IFR backup when flying VFR

Why don't you call the facility and ask? Then you'll have a correct answer. -
We looked at that one, it looksike it was used in a war, maybe it'll clean up

with a 60k budget you can swing a K model.
-
it is a scott for sure, a partner has the part number but they're unobtanium. I'm in no rush, if you make it out there and happen to have one it'd be greatly appreciated. Ours has gone missing and I haven't been able to find one anywhere.
-
I need either the glass cover that screws on the o2 pressure gauge in the pilots arm rest, or the whole gauge assembly.

Does a diagram exist of the defrost system for the j/k?

Thanks- the diagram confused me. (item 44) -

does the K have an electric blower motor? -
I don't think so- no market. It's too costly to get the STC and the resulting product will cost more than most GA aircraft.
-
around here the used diesel trucks hold their value more than twice the gas.
-
that they aren't paid well enough to be able to afford it?
-
Looks like it is indeed the cable bending a bit at the bottle valve, making it hard to get shut off completely. In another plane I was a partner o the cable broke, I'll look at that thread to replace the cable with thicker.
-
If I don't isolate the leak to something else a helper spring might be a good option if I can figure out a way, thanks
-
Thanks! Let me dig into it a little so I have a clue what I'm talking about first. It's hard for me to get at that valve, I'm a little big to fit in the avionics bay
-
Thanks! Another good possibility, do you remember the oring specs? It might be different on your r vs our k
-
They make o2 leak detection fluid? Sweet! I bet you're right, the rigging. I'll mess with it when it warms up. Any recommendations for overhaul shop on the valve if it comes to it?
-
My switchbox generic was getting a little flaky so I got one of these. Works great. I also use an external relay, same one I used for the switchbox.
-
The tank was sent out for a pressure check this fall, any chance they didn't get the valve tight to the tank? Does anyone repair the valves or is it a replace only kind of deal? Since it's a little finicky on shut off I guess the logical answer is it isn't shutting off quite completely. Thanks don
