[NSRCA-discussion] Fuel Line Pressure

[John Ferrell]

I have and occasionally use manometers. The problem here is that a one pound range is a lot of tubing for water or fuel. I was shocked to find out how much pressure a muffler produced. 

Don't overlook that more nitro leads to a broader needle setting. Of course more Nitro also brings along more problems!

I have also learned that running an engine on a test stand without an exhaust system provides misleading information.

  Great info John. Thanks a lot. I know the manometer technique will work for relative measurements but it will be a bitch to handle when I want to move the engine to a vertical position! Hadn't thought of Granger.
