As part of our continuous development and devotion to our concept “Easy to install”, ULPOWER has designed a built-in by-pass solution which will be installed as standard equipment on all new engines. (May 2019). Field experience shows that certain aircraft fuel systems may, under certain conditions, allow varying amounts of air to enter the fuel supply lines (empty tanks/switching tanks, unporting of tanks, etc); this appears to be one of the most common reasons for engine stoppages. If at some point in flight, sufficient air is ingested to the system, the pressurized fuel lines will need to re-prime with fuel, displacing the air. The more air that is in the lines the longer it will take to clear and return to normal running. Air over the injectors at the time of opening will result in loss of power and/or engine stoppage. The most common solution for this issue is to install a restricted by-pass unit between the pressurized fuel supply line and the fuel return line. Devoted to our “easy to install” concept, ULPower has now designed a fuel injector block with integrated by-pass. This new design will not only be installed on all new engines leaving the ULPower factory (May 2019), the integrated by-pass solution may also be retro-fitted on older engines. The procedure can be downloaded here . RETROFIT AN INJECTOR HOLDER WITH INTEGRATED BYPASS The integrated by-pass kits (K1100001 for UL260/350 and K1100002 for UL390/520) can be ordered through your local ULPower dealer who can also assist you are feeling unsure about performing this procedure View the full article

A new service bulletin has been launched on our website . http://ulpower.com/content/service-bulletins/service-bulletin-2018_03.pdf?1542358490 We would also like to draw your attention to our planned manuals update expected at early in December. As you may know, we launched a service bulletin in July after a user reported a loosened alternator bolt. We are pleased to note that no further field issues have been reported . After extensive R&D, and advice from specialists, we have decided to annul this service bulletin. Specialist have confirmed that left hand thread and loctite is a well proven method for this application. Furthermore , the required actions mentioned in the service bulletin and in the maintenance manuals may have a negative effect on safety if the work is carried out incorrectly. Even though the instructions in the SB and maintenance are well explained, there is always the risk of turning the bolt in the opposite direction and, breaking the the loctite seal which may create its own issues. Therefore, the alternator bolt check will be removed in the next update of the maintenance manual. Do feel free to contact us, or your local ULPower agent, should you require any clarifications or more detailed info on this service bulletin. An e-mail has been sent to all registered ULPower-engine owners. If you would like to receive a warning when a new service bulletin is launched, please register your engine on thecontact page on our website.
