I am assembling my fuel system now after many changes. What got me on the right track was to write out a mission statement of what I wanted to be able to do. Switch between filters on the fly. Switch between 2 fuel pumps. Polish fuel while engine is running. Pump from a jerry can thru filter to tank (fill) or engine (get home on a jerry can). So I have 2 fuel sources that feed either of 2 filters that are pumped by either of 2 pumps. One filter/pump can feed the engine while the other circulates and polishes the contents of the tank perferably in a good stirring sea to get the crap and water off the bottom of the tank or the second filter/pump can fill the tank from a hose led to the cockpit. No more pooring or spilling. If the fuel in the tank is unuseable run from jerry cans. Also hand priming bulbs on both and a small clear filter on the jerry can hose to inspec the new fuel. All this is at a price and the UPS girl is starting to bitch. - Allen |
