The last time I went flying the fuel pressure
continued to be high. It bounces between
the yellow and red alert on the SkyView.
Also, the oil pressure began to jump around while I was flying. I called Lockwood Aviation and they confirmed
that moving the oil pressure sensor to the firewall usually corrects the
problem. I have ordered an 'RV-12 Oil
Pressure Sensor Relocation Kit.' I will
install it when it arrives. I also did considerable
checking on the forum. It appears I am
not the only one to have high fuel pressure readings. I called Dynon and we checked to make sure
the software and set up were correct.
They are. I purchased a low
pressure fuel gauge from O’Reily Auto Parts and hooked it to the fuel pressure
sensor line. It reads the same as the
Dynon. Because of that I decided to mount
my electric fuel pump switch on the instrument panel.
I installed the switch in the power wire (red)
to the fuel pump. I cut a hole in the
instrument panel and installed the switch.
I then purchased some ‘white print on black’ tape for my P-Touch Label
Maker and printed a label for the switch.
Now when the fuel pressure gets too high I can turn off the electric
fuel pump.
I also painted the inside of the fuel tank cap
red.
