Red face Huh?

OH REALLY NUMBER ONE!? Exactly when did Cessna or TCM {as the case may be} put a shroud on the Skymaster engine driven fuel pump for testing the temp? Don't think so, as it has NEVER been an issue in the real world. Thermocouples? Why waste time and money on something that is definitely NOT the problem!

OH REALLY NUMBER TWO!? "First, I'm not selling anything." And, "We know what the problem is. Insulating fuel lines won't hurt, but is not the answer. It's the engine -driven fuel pump being too hot. It is insufficiently baffled. We're working on an STC'd solution. Cool the pump and there will be no problem (easier said than done).

Why would you be working on an STC, if you didn't plan on selling/marketing it? The Skymaster doesn't need the specified STC... period... paragraph... as there is NO heating problem with the engine driven fuel pumps on the 337 series. As they say on TeeVee, "Sorry, Charlie!" Find another fish to fry.

OH, but maybe you were referring to a different make & model airplane... like the Beech you own/fly... and of course that'd be like comparing apples to mandarine oranges.
