Hi All, I've just finished building my wing stub fuel tanks and tonight I was going to do the plumbing. I intend to pump fuel into the a "T" at the top of the fuel sight gauge. Benefits: 1. My header tank does not leak and would require no modifications that may make it leak (also it would require major surgery to add a transfer inlet) 2. I figure (not tested yet) that I will see some fuel running through my sight gauge as fuel is being pumped up. 3. Fuel cannot siphon back to the wing tanks if the non return valve fails.
I know Virgil said not the bottom of the sight gauge but does any one see a problem with using the top and if so why. thanks Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: VIRGIL N SALISBURY To: kr...@mylist.net Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 12:51 AM Subject: Re: KR> Fuel tanks-transfer methods However, Do NOT use a "T" at the bottom of the tank. Use SEPARATE openings for the sight gauge and the feed, Virg
