There is 1 friction control and was disengaged, moved it to half way forward and the controls are better now. Thanks!. As per the dirt in the tanks there was just 2 or 3 drops of that red/brownish thing. I will flush the entire tank but first will use a probe with a camera and see if there is...

I checked the manual, should be on the right. But if that is the problem, shouldnt affect the mix and throttle too?

Thanks everybody

Then not venier control, it moves forward/backward like the image

Dont know the type of control it is but this weekend I will check the control friction lock.

Thank you everybody for the replies and good ideas to check

What I meant with the prop control not staying back is that: During engine operation. I pull the control back (decreases RPM) as soon as I release the control, it will slowly move to the forward possition and increasing RPM. Seems the cable is fine as RPM increase/decrease when I operate the...

Jet Fuel could be, before noticing it, I asked to top off the tanks... would be some st*** operator putting Jet Fuel on a Commander 112A but wouldnt be the first time. My concern is, because I drained all the "dirty water" from the sump, after the flight, there was more of it. Was thinking maybe...

Okay, will run the test to make sure. About the prop leveler not staying back? what do you think? Governor?

not looking to fix it but looking to troubleshoot and use logic: Tonight I cleaned the fuel drain, then tomorrow: if-> fuel drain clean then it is because happen during operation, if dirty, then it is something dumping that thing in the tank. If-> fuel drain clear then cycle prop, check fuel...

Tomorrow I will do the same, sump fuel until clean, taxi the plane, run-up, check for the prop to feather, then check the fuel sump again

why I think it is not water? I drained the "dirty water" on the preflight, so when I dumpled fuel, it was coming out fuel only. After the flight, did the same and the sump had "dirty water" again. Also the sump probe looks oily now.

Thank you, now trying to understand what the technician did to cause that. It had no problem when flying from Ohio to Florida and then to the shop to add the ADSB

Looks like oil, in the sump probe it stay at the bottom the fuel (like water), it has the color of oil and when slowly dumped in the floor, these bubbles looks like oil and the sump probe now looks like someone poured oil on it. The brake fluid will be red and having the problem with the prop...

Hi all, Recently picked up my Commander 112A from ADSB upgrade and when I wanted to set cruise settings, the prop leveler wont stay and will go forward. Now, on the preflight, I noticed oil in my left tank fuel sump. Engine fuel sump and right tank sump were clean. Didnt noticed the issue on...
