We were parked next to a nice Piet at the recent Ranger, TX fly-in. On his wayhome he took off without full fuel. He ended up landing short of his destinationdue to gas with no incident. He got gas and then balled it up on takeoff.I don't believe he was injured. Here's the NTSB link courtesy of lurker MattWash:http://ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief2.asp?ev_id 100602X24234&ntsbno=CEN10CA288&akey=1BTW: if he checks this forum, I'd like him to contact me at kevin.purtee(at)us.army.mil.I gave his partner some money for a brass Piet plate & I'd like to getit.--------Kevin PurteeNX899KPAustin/Georgetown, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Piet Wreck

Remember fluid will not compress but air will, so if there's air in the line or the gauge that may explain it.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2010 13:46:59 -0500

Dan,You can bleed the oil pressure line by SLIGHTLY loosening the connection fitting at the gauge with the engine running. About 1/4 to 1/2 turn is all you need. As soon as you get a drop or two of oil simply re-tighten the fitting. It will only take a few seconds.Greg C.----- Original Message -----
