Greetings,
My Colulumbia 29, 1965 has a nice aluminum fuel tank just below
the cockpit. I have an electric fuel pump, a spin on gas filter.
Whenever I disconnect my flex fuel line from my carn....then re install
iit after cleaning carb....I SOMETIMES need to suck or apply vacuum
to the line to start the fuel flowing to the filter....which is lower than
the gas tank bottom. I guess the problem happens because I shut
off the 90 valve on the tank exit line....then I disconnect the line to the
carb and I guess the residual fuel in the line drains out. So,,,,when
I connect it up and turn the tank on....there lledis no flow to the filter.as
the line in filled with air.
Sooooooo...I think I will buy an eight dollar check valve from Amazon
and mount it right at the carb inlet...
Comments appreciated..thanks
