Mark your dual fuel pump set up looks really neat. I'm wondering if the
Facet pump has built in check valves and if you have considered a water drain
located in the low spot. I have seen water collect in such a spot and then
freeze
causing a stoppage and in a Cessna, split the fuel line. Lynn

Mark,
Very neat installation. I take it, that you found the same as Larry, that
they do not need a reverse flow check valve.
What size tubing is that?

Dean,
Those are some very valid points. I do not have a header and right now I do
not have fuel shut off for each individual wing tank. I have been thinking
all along that I needed the option to shut off each tank to regulate flow
and I do have a plan in place to install a shut off valve for each t

connected by a common fuel line
Mark if both tanks are connected by a common line and one wing is high as in
a bank, what is to prevent the pump from sucking air from that wing and
introducing it into the common line to the carb?

P.S. Mark what would prevent the fuel from all running to the low wing as in
a bank, and if it did would you be able to control the aircraft with one
full wing and one empty wing. If I remember correctly and you are using a
carb that requires pressure, You might ha

Per Tony Bingelis, using a 3/8" OD fuel line it will take you 30 minutes to
drain a 20 gallon tank to empty.

This could be corrected by a ball check valve [no spring] in each branch to
the wing tanks.
