Hi,
I build a Skybolt with an Lycoming IO540 as an experimental. I will install the package D120 / 6 cyl. fuel injected.
My inspector asked me to check the usability of the fuel flow sensor, because the diameter of the intake is only about 4mm. He suspected this might be too small for an IO540. Has the fuelflow sender been installed with this engine?
I know that aprox. 1.5 times the max of fuel flow should pass the fuel line by gravitation. I suppose this rule should only be applied to fuel systems that work without fuel pumps. In these cases the diameter of the fuelline should be at least 8mm.
Is my configuration ok? Thanks in advance!
