Only the air shroud was holding the unit together. Staining was evident but hidden under the shroud. The factory screws were either missing or loose and the remaining screws were all loose. There appears to be a peen mark perhaps to lock the screws but that does not work. I will submit an SDR but I am suggesting anyone using the ANDAIR GASCOLATOR to either visibly look for those screws and staining on the inside of the shroud or just remove and inspect from the firewall. 700 hours on unit. > > Paul > Legacy > > http://s1284.photobucket.com/user/pjdmiller/library/andair%20gascolator%20failure%20Lancair%20Legacy > > > > -- > For archives and unsub http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/lml/List.html > --089e015373fe65a57504de59e537 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable =A0 Got your messages Paul. =A0 Will ride over to look at gascolator when = showers pass. =A0 Was it leaking when transfering fuel for the fuel Cal. = =A0????
