OK...Before I run too far off topic, what is the pressure on the fuel 
rail?  From the responses to the original post it seems safe to assume 
even if I return to the bottom of the 29 gallon( 2 14.5 gallon tanks ) 
tanks the pressure generated by the fuel pump will easily overcome this 
resistance.


Now venturing down the pressure path...I am confused...How can the 
weight/volume of the fuel above the measuring point be ignored? 


So,  I have a 1 gallon 12 inch square bucket filled with 1 gallon of 
fuel, it weighs 6 pounds today.  If I raise this bucket 25 inches above 
the ground, attach a 25" vertical tube to the bottom of the bucket and 
measure the pressure I will have 1 psi of pressure?


Now I change the amount of fuel I want to have 25 inches off the ground 
to 2 gallons.  However, I also change the square bucket to be big enough 
to hold the 2 gallons so that the fuel level is the same as the original 
1 gallon bucket.  Thus, the height of the fuel in the bucket is the same 
whether it is 1 gallon or 2 gallons.  Does the pressure at the bottom of 
the 25 inch tube measure something other than 1psi?  2psi?  1.5psi?


Yep...Definitely time for that 2nd cup of coffee...


Thanx for the help...
