Re: [FlyRotary] Re: Vapor Lock
It was a non-return carbureted system, but since my new
canard delivers fuel from both tanks into the sump, and the unburned fuel
also goes back to the sump tank (not to either of the mains), what would cause
the difference? So far, the fuel level in both of my main tanks have been
going down at the same rate. I add 10 gallons to each tank, and they are
still even (as best can be determined by the clear sight fuel
gages). Paul Conner

Was that an EFI with return or a non return carbureted system.
Makes a difference.

Hi, Tracy...I had the same setup on my
LongEZ....two strake fuel tanks and a fuel selector valve with left, right
and both. 95% of the time, I just used both. Worked fine. Fuel levels in
both tanks were always very close to each other. Paul Conner
I agree, it's a tough call on the Facet pump with the sump
tank. But then if you eliminated the sump tank....... :
)
Your Andair valve is a good (but pricey) solution.
And I see the fuel transfer requirement as no more onerous than
the requirement to switch tanks. This is a cherries & nectarines
issue. Both taste great.
I'll have to think about that "auto leveling" a bit but at first
blush, I'm not sure it would work in all situations. Have you tried
it?
