PA30 left fuel selector

Postby David James » Sun Oct 14, 2012 7:59 pm

Fuel drain from left aux into main. I figure its the fuel selector corrosion issue. Is there any less expensive repair? Would love to have the stainless unit but not at $3,500. Any ideas are appreciated. Talk to Matt already and he is waiting for a rebuild.

Webco overhauls or repairs. As Zach says below - thought they got approved for fuel selector O/H and gear motor repairs but I could be language impaired. Thanks Zach.

I can say that I was very pleased with their work on both twin fuel selectors in 2009 and still am.

Webco "repairs"...not overhaul. Sorry Pat, but somantics got them in trouble the first time.

Thanks for the input. Called Webco and they are out a ways. Said that their Cad people are backed up. Could be a month out.

Got my selectors back and installed.. Work like new. Installed the new micro switch harness too and now all fuel gauges are working perfect.
