Fuel blockage on seafari

[gofastsandman]

Hey Gillie,
I saw the ethanol matinee a couple of times last year. Fortunately, it wasn`t a full length feature film, but a rather looonnnng matinee. So much fun I saw it twice...

My pickup collar was welded and threaded. Looked nasty. I was afraid. Blasted it w/ P.B. and a week later it turned right out. I feel the nylon pickups never should have been made. They crack,screens clog, get holes, fall off/apart etc. My pickup was alluminum 3/8 " id. You want all same same metals so you can use antisieze and avoid riots in the cell block. I also have a v notch in the bottom to release gremlins. It`s hard to get the bowl off the Racor sometimes ,so I carry a whole spare and a rubber strap wrench. Racor makes a vacuum guage for the outlet to monitor the filter.That`s about 19th for takeoff as La Guardia is stacked up again. Cooler flying weather is finally here, and time to hit the hanger for some love.
