Hi, Rusty....I could add one, I suppose. My aluminum tank
is located on the cold side of the fuselage (behind the rear seat), and always
feels cool to the touch, even after an hour of flight. Of course, I have
not had my hand calibrated lately, but if the tank was getting warm, it would
seem that I would be able to feel it with the palm of my hand.
Hi
Paul,
I guess that
counts as a sensor. You could add fuel cooling if you wave a fan at the
tank. The time I'd be worried about, is just the
situation that you had on your last flight. Basically, you had the
engine compartment really hot, then ran at idle prior to takeoff.
During this idle time, there's very little new, cool fuel coming in from the
main tank, and you're circulating the same fuel over and over through
the hot rails. How much does this header tank
hold?
Cheers,
