• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Injected engine... I have been researching around the web, and am a little confused. Some use a filter after the boost pump, and no gascolator...using the sump drain as the lowest point for draining water. Vans have no gascolator in their vanilla RV-10 design, yet I have read that some DAR's will not sign off an airplane without a gascolator installed?
Additionally, some say the presence of a gascolator in an injected fuel system encourages vapor lock due to a) the gascolator acts as a heat sink b)it is yet another juncture in the flow and can cause bubbles[vapor lock?]

Thoughts?
