Have not been up there lately. They have been busy with that huge lot of 5 tons.
Mil ID makes my usual pickups here and there a breeze.
I am in Ocean Springs just East of Biloxi,
The goal is make a loop from the draw straw in the tank to the end of the return line. Observing what is normally hidden.
Air could be entering from any hose, fitting, gasket, anywhere.
Run your fuel supply line from the check valve connection, and the return line into a glass jar. Any air ? Looking for tiny bubbles. time it and full the jar. Do the same and compare to another for fuel volume
Never let it go lower than 60 hz. Dont throttle down at shutdown. Dont warm it up at idle.
Set it and forget it.
Maybe tickle it with a feather to adjust when loaded. :beer:

The 'fuel thing' is the auxiliary pickup. Useful for drums and certain jerry cans. (not nato forgot if it is scepter style or old school steel usgi)
Shutters open when it gets hot.
See here for ordering some viton (way better than what comes with the fram buna?)...
Anyone headed into Albany MCLB ?
Have four stranded mep-003A's due to a scheduling conflict. May need a pickup and hold for a week.
Trying to work it out now but could use a backup!
Watched those and I have a friend at Vance AFB base to do Okc pickups too! aua
I found the supplier of the panels to the .mil the past 10 years or so. He wants $350 per panel. HAH He sells them to the gov for 32 EA
Looking at another source with some decent stock. Hoping to keep it around $100...
