Brief Description: Calibrate fuel system; fuel pressure and fuel flow
Calibrated the 5-setpoint Princeton fuel probe per manual. Surprised to find total capacity at 15 and three quarter gallons. This was marketed as an 18 gallon tank. Overflow works correctly, before fuel comes out the filler neck. Fresh mix of ethanol-free gas. Start the full-system leak test.
Float level warning lamp goes off somewhere between 4 and 5 gallons, which is about perfect. Documented the setpoints on the right front inside wall of the craft.
Built a mounting metalwork box for the fuel computer and g-meter, left side, immediately in front of and below the throttle quadrant. Running out of space up front. Hooked up the red fuel flow cube to the fuel usage computer. Checks OK so far. Hooked up the g-meter. Checks OK so far.
Bled the brakes. Set up a gravity feed and let it drip for about 6 hours. Ran about a half cup of new Dexron ATF through it. Breaks are good and tight now.
Hooked up the Hobbs meter. Replaced busted tail wheel. Repaired broken wire on #2 tail strobe.
