Not planning to have a header tank, just a tank in each wing. The back up
battery is a good idea too. I'm planning to implement that in my plane.

I did a little checking and you can't push fuel through the VW mechanical
pump so a backup system would entail, at minimum, a couple check valves and
an electric pump...a bit more complicated that I care to make it. I see
Facet has pumps that will flow through so you can run them in series as a

How about NO pump? Gravity from header tank only. Though I have used
electric pump to feed the header tank-from wing tanks.

Hi guys and gals. I'm
Why not copy the Piper design with a mechanical (diaphram) and electric in
series? Diaphrams do fail, but only from neglect. I'd use a stock VW pump and
replace it every other year in an excess of caution. Peter

It should not be a problem with the mechanical if fuel can be pumped thru
the mechanical if it stops working. The Facet electrical will flow thru.

One thing to consider is that when the VW pump does fail due to a diaphragm
rupture, fuel is free to flow into the engine block, and things

There are some Facet pumps that have what Facet calls "positive shutoff"
