I have separate tanks, pumps and filters on each side. Return is
switched by a solenoid energized by switching the left pump on. This leads to
its own set of fuel management issues, but it keeps the total redundancy I was
looking for. Since we're analyzing fuel systems, I'd welcome any comments.
Where does the fuel return go when both pumps are
on? Left tank I'm guessing?
Correct. I can't takeoff
on both with the left tank full. Mostly I don't fill it. If I need to, my hand's
real close to the fuel pump switch.
Also guessing you turn
that left pump off ASAP when climbing out with full tanks :-)
Usually I turn the right pump off. I prefer to
burn the fuel in the left tank first because I cant easily see the sight gauge
on that side.

Great to
year you're running again!
I wish. Just the EM2 so
far.
