carusoam Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Anything new? Did something happen that brings this document out? 1) Fuel vaporizes when it gets warmed... 2) increasing FF lessens the temp and the probability of vaporization in the lines... 3) The other guys have a fuel line back to the tank to dump warm fuel before start... it helps some... PP thoughts only, not currently a Lycoming pilot... Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
