Rusty,

I have been using a three-minute electronic timer (home-made) to tra= nsfer fuel. The Facet pump moves about one GPH, so every time I pus= h the button, I get three gallons. Works great for lateral trim.

As for the fuel pumps, I only run on one except for takeoff and land= ing. When I do a run-up, the last thing I do is turn on the second = pump and watch for a 2-3 psi increase in fuel pressure. That tells = me it is working. At 1000 feet agl, I turn off the second pump.&nbs= p; My theory is that by only running it for takeoff and landing, it gets = very little wear and the filter will last a very long time. If the = primary pump or filter go south, I have a fresh pump and filter to take t= he load.

I'm still not completely satisfied w= ith my fuel system. It's hooked up just like Tracy's, and maybe I'l= l like it better if I ever get that automatic fuel transfer timer set up.= Hey Ed, weren't you the one making that at one time?

Cheers,
