Hi = Steve,

 

Just for comparison -my fuel system = is very similar in concept.=A0 The principal conceptual difference is I = have a header tank for return of my fuel from injectors mounted on the fire = wall and is =BD pint in capacity.=A0 The theory is not much fuel to have to get = rid of if it gets hot. The fuel flow into the engine through the injectors = continuously pulls cool fuel from wing tanks.

 

=A08 gallons of hot fuel (if it = ever got hot) might take a while to burn down to the point the cool incoming fuel = does some good.

 

This size =A0goes counter to = “tradition” on size of header tanks but is more in line with the = “returnless” systems on most of today’s = automobiles.

 

FWIW

Hi All

We are trying to make a decision re: fuel system.
I’ve attached a PDF with design and questions etc.
