Helirider212 Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Thanks JL it was the flapper valve. and your scenario is exactly what I diagnosed the issue as myself...prolonged forward flight the fuel all transfers forward, but in short hops or long-lining the fuel has time to level itself out..the valve was not shimmed at all, along with the rubber been deteriorated along the hing area....the ejector pump and line were checked and are clean....putting it back together today..recal and go flying....

Jammed left Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Glad to here it's all back working properly...fly safe....trust the low fuel light... and it's a faulty flow switch will also turn on the boost pump light...

Over-Talk Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 It hasn't happened to me...... but I heard from others that when your tank runs out of fuel.....there is no more flow and therefore the Boost Pump lite activates......just before the Engine Out lite, the Low Rotor horn and lite etc. etc.........AAAARGH !! Thank goodness we are in a 212 and that other engine will save our arses !!!!! Ha Ha Ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocko Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Excellent Discussion. This report is on the 214B's fuel system, which to my knowledge is identical to a 205's. Really eye opening info on trusting your low fuel light over the Qty Indicator. http://www.bst.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/...75/a99p0075.pdf Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
