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...
