Hi Bobby, yes Ed used a small (1 qt)
can attached to the engine-side of the firewall,
to accept main fuel IN, return fuel and parallel
outputs to his fuel pumps. This system would work
regardless of wing arrangement but I'm not too
sure how it performed at keeping LOW fuel
temperatures.
My high-wing has a 2 gallon header
tank on the cabin-side of the firewall, so I Tee'd
my fuel return into one of its two vent lines that
connect back to the wing tanks. This is a
gravity-fed system until it passes through the
firewall to the pumps ... the vent lines assist in
draining the tanks evenly.

What is the best method for handling
return fuel in a high wing? Fuel return to a small
header tank sized to keep fuel temperatures low? I
think Ed Anderson may have used a small header in
his RV6.
