Re: KR> facet fuel pumps

Larry, You are correct in that under pressure from another pump, the second pump should seat and shouldn't leak. If it does, the backflow would be more of a drip at the most. However, under very light pressure, like the head pressure from a header tank, the internal piston won't seat and the fac

Re: KR> Question About Gravity-Based Fuel Systems

Fuel mismanagement happens pretty regularly, even in the simplest of fuel systems. I've seen it happen in a Cessna with dual gravity feed tanks. The more parts you add to your fuel system, the more complex it's going to be. It is important to have easily seen, highly visible fuel indicators.

KR> Question About Gravity-Based Fuel Systems

I've thought a lot about the "Tacoma" incident and have a question to ask those with auxiliary fuel tanks: "Is it possible fuel could move in your system without you knowing about it?" I.E. the quoted "Fuel Starvation" situation referenced below. If gravity is the primary fuel flow design to the e
