Question: Why is it that devices to separate water from fuel are quite common cars (my F-350 truck has one), but such a device, which could save lives in an airplane, is not offered for airplanes ? Even as a retrofit ? Your F350 is a diesel. Gas engines in cars and trucks don't have water seperators. Cars and trucks don't have a way to test the fuel like aircraft. My 1993 Ford Clubwagon XLT 350 (E350) has a water separator. It's a 5.8L V8 Gas engine. -- Mark Hansen, PP-ASEL, Instrument Airplane Sacramento, CA |
