[Public-List] Props and Fuel Returns.

[charles pleisse]

I have recently acquired a diesel to replace my atomic 4 and I am curious
about the various propeller sizes being used with diesels in Alberg 30s. I
am keen to hear feedback on propeller performance from those of you using 2
blade propellers with a diesel. Along with your impressions of performance,
It would be useful to know what engine you have, (maker and HP) and the
pitch and diameter of your two blade propellers.  There is a lot of help on
line sizing propellers but nothing beats direct feedback on performance.
Another concern with this repower is the fuel return.  Since the existing
engine is gas powered, there is currently no return.  Nor is there any
additional fixture on the tank to accommodate one.  I was thinking it might
work well to "T" it on the vent line nearest where it exits the tank. As a
footnote, the vent opening is quite high inside the nearest stanchion.
