Default Parallelling fuel pumps

Doug,

Thats why I advocate a small capacity gravity feed 'day tank' .... NO
bleed or lift pumps, NO filters, NO electricity .... just nature's
gravity to feed oil to the injector pump; single cock to switch it
online to the fuel system ....


I have 16 gal TEMPO tank for gravity feed to my galley stove. I have a 3 way
valve that will allow me to switch it over to the engine and generator
suction manifold.. Not only is it available for emergency fuel source, but
it is presently very handy for purging the air after I change fuel filter or
open an injector line. (problem is, I have to remember to turn off the valve
to the normal service tank that is below the engine).
