(Looks like the post I was responding to was deleted. But still relevant for those looking at this.) Yeah; when I saw "fuel transfer pump" I presumed NG; but it is a Lycoming powered plane. So I am still confused. I suppose running a tank dry could explain it. But that wasn't due to failur...

Fuel transfer pump in a DA-40? That doesn't sound right. Just switch tanks?

Yes that is what Brittany suggested. Or Greg can send his cable to McFarlane and they will make him a replacement. I may just live with the stiffness for now, and McFarlane has a replacement dust cap I can install.

The part number in question is for the DA40F (carbureted version), which Diamond is not producing anymore. There are different part numbers for the -180 fuel injected planes. Are these also unavailable? Diamond told Premier this is the part for my plane and it is unavailable. The P/N on my cable is...

McFarlane confirmed they can make the cable and are authorized to do so. But they don't have specs so they'd need a cable in hand to measure. I'm not AOG so I won't pull mine off for them, but that may be a good solution for the OP. I will follow up to see if they can just make the "dust cap&qu...

Great question. I suspect Diamond has a stash of cables for themselves and are trying to resolve in the 14 month timeframe that was quoted above.

Brittany also shared the following: > I don't know which cables specifically, but some of them have a metal piece inside the cable that snaps and needs to be replaced. That metal piece can be replaced without replacing the entire cable. The metal piece is called "core stock" and Diamond se...

Here is what I heard back from Premier: > D4F-7103-12-00 - use 580-708-149 > The company that made 580-708-149 has closed operations. > Purchasing and Engineering are both working on this, however, it may still be several months before this is resolved. > As the part number will most likely change, ...

Also looking for one. No luck so far. I'll let you know if I find something.

Mhoran: could you provide an example of the US report? Also, I saw somewhere there is an FAA program I believe provide a $ credit once you've shown compliance? If you could provide details of that. Here is an example of a passing test earlier in the thread: https://www.diamondaviators.net/forum/vie...
