Re: '48 C170 Fuel Pump

Thank you for the link to those photos. They confirm the location we had been discussing that made the most sense. I had removed the old lines last week and received the new tubing yesterday. Starting the reinstall/mod today.

Thank you (and all) for the help, will try to keep progress posted.

Re: '48 C170 Fuel Pump

Hello again, back with a couple of questions on the re routing as we now have the wings on and I can get back to this matter. #1 is, for those who did the reroute, did you leave the selector valve in the stock location forward of the trim wheel, or move it aft of the flap lever? #2 is. Could anyone ...

Re: '48 C170 Fuel Pump

Any progress on that 337? Been watching the list and have not seen it posted yet. About to contact a DER to get the ball rolling and having something showing it had been approved before would go a long way.

Re: '48 C170 Fuel Pump

Interesting read, any reasoning why that would be the only one?

Re: '48 C170 Fuel Pump

Thanks for the input, that is some 'poetic justice' that the FAA inspectors tried to play the system and got turned down! An electric pump never made it into discussion when we first started looking into the possibility of eleminating the fuel pump. Just made sense from a safety standpoint, removing...

Re: '48 C170 Fuel Pump

Thank you Sir for the reply. The work would be inline with Mr. Partridges as the one we are working is S/N 18100. The interior is out so now would be the best time to do this mod, which to me makes sense in several ways. Also thank you also for the newsletter link, I printed of the article for the c...

Re: '48 C170 Fuel Pump

'48 C170 Owners, I have received from the FAA via field approval permission to remove the engine-driven fuel pump, check valve and fuel pressure gauge from my '48 C170 and to reroute the fuel lines aft from the main wing tanks down the rear door posts as designed for the A and B models. Thanks to t...
