    The only way to know if all cylinders are on the lean side of peak is to instrument all cylinders and then observe the temperatures.

    If the oxygen systems on the 252 and yours are the same, your observation would mean that I could replace my gauge without losing tank pressure? Are you aware of detailed documentation for the oxygen system?
  3. Fly Boomer
    Until this thread, I thought (assumed) that the gauge showed tank pressure at all times. I guess this assumption was based on the fact that the gauge doesn't go down even if the oxygen hasn't been used for an extended period. But it may mean that there are no leaks in the gauge circuit, and it just continues to show whatever pressure it last saw when the oxygen control was on.

    Still not a bad price compared to some that I have seen.

    That suggests that in your 252, with the cabin control in the "off" position, the gauge is not showing tank pressure. And only when the cabin control is moved to the "on" position will the gauge register tank pressure. Do I have that right?

    I don't have an SB engine, but that sounds like bad advice.

    Is this it? https://www.ebay.com/itm/405366898469

    I would be interested in knowing how those threads were compromised. Might be worthwhile to have a Mooney-specific mechanic examine that area inside the wing.

    Any perceptible change (in the airplane)?

    Oh boy! A justification for a new tool!

    That egtrends.com site appears to be defunct, but here is a similar downloadable version of the same LOPFFvsHP spreadsheet with a few comments and instructions; https://twincessna.org/wp-content/uploads/attachments/LOPFFvsHP calculator.xls

    If it's in there, I can't find it. Zero hits on xls or lop. I don't have very good luck finding things there.

    Is that the one originally created by Michael Mahoney? Can you share your version? Thanks

    The AD that references this SB is 98-24-11.

    No. What is true is that our ancient factory gauges are unreliable and inaccurate.
  16. Fly Boomer
    Unless you have the Cies aftermarket fuel senders, the factory gauges are only telling you the tank is below half. A calibrated stick is usually more accurate.

    If you are ever required to burn the currently-available 100UL gas, you will regret using car paint. If this is a stopgap, and in a less visible location, sometimes the aviation isle at Ace Hardware has a pretty good match.

    Anywhere from $100 to $400 on the “pre read” market depending on condition.

    Do you mean <4K ohms?

    If they were glued on correctly, I would think they would be fine for a decade. That said, there is one way to do it correctly, and a hundred ways to screw it up. A little wiggle during preflight could save you thousands of dollars.

    What is the name?

    That NATO connector is designed to be plugged in “hot”. The larger positive and negative pins make good contact before the smaller pin energizes the relay connecting the juice to your airplane.

    And at Don and Paul's shop, you get Maxwell House coffee in the little blue K-Cups.
