Hi Alan
I'd add a couple of things - you have the fuel drain mod installed which is
good. But be aware that you need to drain more fuel than a normal fuel dra
in to clear the fuel in the lines between the drain and the tank. I drain a
bout 'half jam jar' each side.
Also, the fuel return from the engine should be feeding into the reserves s
ide so it should refresh the fuel. But if fueling the plane doesn't get to
the bottom of the tank to stir things up, the return flow certainly won't.
But it worth checking that the fuel return is happening.
