 Posted: Mon Jun 05, 2006 6:15 pm Post subject: New Andair Fuel valve |
 |
|
Saw in my new Kitplanes that Andair will be offering a new remote fuel selector. The selector looks like all the others but the actual valve can be put anywhere since its fly by wire (solenoid of some sort I presume). So fuel lines in the cabin may be avoided. Cool.

I saw that ad also but I don’t understand how fuel can get from the wing to the engine without going through the cabin. The fuel pump and filter as well as the floscan transducer are all in the tunnel. I imagined that the lines from the new Andair valve would come in from the wings to a T-fitting and then go to the fuel pump. There would still be fuel going through the cabin just no selector valve..

I have a feeling these are primarily aimed at the pusher crowd. I know when I was looking at building a Cozy or Velocity I really wished for a product like this to keep the fuel out of the cockpit. Would also be useful in an aircraft with a aft header tank.

Out of curiosity, how would you get from the tanks to the engine without
going through the cabin? The only thing that would bother me about that
is losing electrical power, and with it the ability to change tanks.

With our low-wing -10's, we wouldn't want just a T fitting, you'd
want to draw from each tank separately. I for one am glad to just
have a plain valve. I'd hate to have a fly-by-wire on something
as critical as a fuel valve. At least now I can positively feel
that the switch was made properly. Sure, it would probably work
fine, but now you've got to have electrical working, and there's
just one more thing to fail. I don't know how you'd avoid fuel
in the cockpit in the -10. There's no way from the wings to the
nose without going through somewhere.
