Jim Burrill's DIY Jet Turbine Blog: Fuel lines in place
http://smogthemog.blogspot.com/2007/10/fuel-lines-in-place.html
Jim Burrill's DIY Jet Turbine Blog. All about DIY Jet Turbine (Turbojet) Engines and their accompanying Vehicles :0). Thursday, October 04, 2007. Fuel lines in place. The copper fuel lines are now all in place with the 6mm bore from the top of the pump to the back of the nozzle and from the outlet of the prop valve to the inlet of the fuel filter. Fuel return from the prop valve. I may need to fit a non return valve here to stop the fuel in the fuel filter from draining back into the tank.

And amended any problems. Links to this post. I am going to ...

I have to fit the oil pressure switch and I have a bit of wiring to complete for the fuel pump and temperature control. It looks like it should now be in the next couple of weeks when I will be properly trying it out. Oh - I needs to get some fuel too! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Jim Burrill's DIY Jet Turbine Blog. All about DIY Jet Turbine (Turbojet) Engines and their accompanying Vehicles :0). Friday, November 16, 2007. I am busy at the moment designing and building the electrical control box for the twin and when that is complete 'and safe! I will be attempting further live tests on the engine.

Jim Burrill's DIY Jet Turbine Blog. All about DIY Jet Turbine (Turbojet) Engines and their accompanying Vehicles :0). Tuesday, October 02, 2007. Just some pictures of the flame tube out of the combustion chamber. The below picture shows the CC drain hole and bung. This is to drain any excess unburnt fuel off that may pool in the bottom of the CC that could cause untold problems when you are desperately trying to shut down the engine! Also do you have an email i could reach you at. Sorry Ryan, no drawings.
