Berni,
In my opinion, you've got it.  Certainly some cooling air flow to t= he gascolator will help some more.  Carefully-designed shrouds over bo= th the fuel pump and gascolator will reduce the amount of air required for = cooling and that might be the "final answer."  I wouldn't go to extrem= e measures to totally eliminate the surging after a hot start, as there is = probably no way to do that.  But the surging should go away during tax= i and should be gone during the run-up.  The design of the system is s= uch that total elimination of vapor generation is just not feasible.  = Note that there is a "return system" commercially available that allows fue= l to be recirculated before starting, and some operators report good result= s.  But personally, I don't think it is necessary and it introduces more potential failure modes.
Gary

I am not ready to celebrate yet but I definitely see = a marked reduction in the severity of the surge and the ability, at least t= oday, to eliminate any surge by simply taxiing and or a bit of an extended = run up.  I believe the blast air is the reason for the improvement. &n= bsp;I believe I should also add a second blast tube with the air directed a= t the gascolator.

Does this make sense?  Any = and all comments welcome!
