Greetings,
 
Well, I've still been trying to figure out how I could get two EWP's in the RV-3, and took another look at the Meziere WP136.  It seems pretty comparable to the Davies Craig unit as far as specs, but there are some advantages/disadvantages to each.   Primarily, the Davies Craig is much lighter, but the WP136 has threaded fittings.  I also like the inline orientation of the in/out fittings on the WP136, which might allow me to fit two of them on my firewall.

BTW, I'd really like to know how the WP136 performs compared to the Davies-Craig unit.  I've had my eye on using two of those in paralell.  From looking at the data sheet, they flow a little less, but in cruise or alternator out emergency I could possibly shut one down.  I look forward to seeing the results of your tests.
