Fuel tank plumbing

Hi,
My Kolb has fuel feed suction tubes that go in the top of the tank.
Why can't one just have a supply outlet at the bottom of the tank?

Any ideas from the building pro's please.

Re: 582 coolant ?

Castrol outboard mixed 50/50 with distilled water. It is worth the price.

Re: CAA RAMP INSPECTIONS

What was the conclusion as far as LSA/Trikes are concerned particularly for fire extinguishers and first aid kits?

Thanks

Re: Turning box upside down on 582

Hi everyone, How do I turn the gearbox upside down on my Rotax 582? Do I need to open it up first and do I need new gaskets before doing so? Anything else I should be careful & aware of? Kind regards, Henni Hi Henni, i would think that your AP should sign off a job like this and it might be better ...

Re: Rotax 582 Stellenbosch to Durban coast wise!

Hi Trevor, petrol no problem to organize. A nice fly away coming up very shortly is the Dundee Battlefields which is 9,10 & 11 May. If you are available, that is really a worthwhile event to attend. For booking, Google Dundee Battlefields Lodge. I cant make it this time but I am keen on attending i...

Re: Rotax 582 Stellenbosch to Durban coast wise!

Hi Trevor. Sorry you could not stop over at Munster, as you said time was short. although you have now seen our coast, you can still get a few people together to come down, so we can organise a brekkie.

Re: Rotax 582 Stellenbosch to Durban coast wise!

Hi TKA, after that flight, Empangeni is just up the road. We have a number of intrepid aviators, mostly trike, but also a couple of LSA's, come up and enjoy our hospitality, and off course the wonderful North Coast scenery. Hi, Empangeni is definitely on my must visit list. It has been many years s...

Rotax 582 Stellenbosch to Durban coastwise!

Earlier this month I ferried my Kolb to Durban. This isn’t about the flight (which was awesome - 12 hours and 7 stops) but it is to thank those that made it possible. Mods, please forgive the punts but they are well deserved and one way for me to thank some of the people that provided assistance. Mo...
