I wrote "Scott suggested that a crossover valve allows the fuel in both wings..." That should have been Bill & Sue. I also stated that when either wing tank is dry, the pump will suck air. If the pumps are located low enough, that won't be a problem. It sounds like Bill & Sue have their pumps mounted at floor level (good). My one transfer pump is mounted to the back of the header tank, and sucks air when either wing empties (bad). I'll be switching to two pumps on the floor real soon now. -bob --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls.
