One thing I'm considering is to just use the regular pumps to
transfer fuel. If you plumb the tanks to a fuel selector, then when you
select the aux side the excess flow will end up in what's now your
primary tank.
This is probably a step
better than having one pump per tank. The only negative I see is not being
able to run the tank out without killing the engine. With all the tanks
you're talking about having, that's probably not a big deal, but the RV-3 only
has two 15 gallon tanks, so using every last gallon is useful (if I ever went
anywhere).
I've seen the 1st idea work in certified planes; the 2nd idea is
wild speculation.
Thanks, but I have enough wild
speculation of my own :-)
Charlie (Wish you could have made it
up here this weekend; if you get bored & need a place to fly come on up
for lunch sometime.)
Roger. It might happen some
day.
