Dr.I fuel tank pressure pump...
Greetings,
I have seen a couple dofferent styles of fuel tank pressure pump on Dr.I models and drawings. One style is a "bicycle tire pump" mounted vertically on the airframe tubing on the starboard side of the cockpit. The other is a "T" handle that extends horizontally rearward from the fuel tank, also on the starboard side. Replicas seem to have the "T" handle, and drawings seem to also show this. Which way is correct? Both? I have the Albatross Pubs books which have only drawings, and indicate the "T" handle. Any help? Any photos? Thanks, Gregg Cooper |

Sticking my neck out.
Hello Gregg:
I believe The fuel on the Fok.DR.I is gravity fed. There is a hand pump to pressurized the tank. I don't think there is a fuel pump on the UR.II accessory case. Blue skies, Dan-San |
