CT4ME Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 New to the CT line... a fuel selector valve. What does it do? Why the change? How to use? Upgrade for your CT? Best practices... Let's discuss it here. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Not the same fuel system as the SW or LS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT4ME Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 :blink: That's why the title of this thread is "CTLSi Fuel Selector Valve" :blink:. There's going to be questions on why they put it into the "si" and not the other models. And why you would use one setting over the others. Etc. Of course, the new model is just beginning to be delivered, so we won't be seeing many anytime soon. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C ICEY Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I've heard the Si requires much greater fuel flow to keep fuel temps down, thus a return flow to the new header tank for cooling. Is that correct? Do you know where the header tank is located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I have ordered a CTLSI that should come to Hawaii yet this year. I was able to look at two new ones just before I attended the Page event. They were being preped for deliverly at KVGT. The header tank is just behind the BRS on the left side of the aircraft centerline It has a sight tube build into the left side that can be viewed from the left baggage door. IT APPEARS THAT TUBE IS AT RISK FROM BAGGAGE IF ONE IS NOT REAL CAREFUL. There is at least two sensors to determine the fuel level of the tank, built into the tank. There is a couple of the large red warning lights on the upper right side of the panel for fuel level warning of the header tank. There are also a line one and line two, large warning lights in the samne panel location. Five large red warning light in total. I am guessing, but it appears that if the pilot selects right or left and runs the header tank low, you will know. It looks like you can select both as well. Beyond the exhaust stack, the 796, the electrical system and the fuel system, I found only a few other changes from the 2011 CTLS N413F that I flew at Page these past two years. Oh yes, and the PRICE. Looking forward to the POH for further study. Farmer Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
