I
sending this direct to you because while I enjoy reading the FLYROTARY mail
list , I’m not registered.
Why
not completely eliminate the dual (supply and return) fuel valve ?
Run
one rotor off of one tank, with its own pump and return line, and the other
rotor off the second tank with its own pump and return.
Or in
the case of a 4 cylinder engine, one pair opposed cylinders from one tank and
the other pair from the other.
If
you lose one half, the engine would have to run wide open throttle (WOT), and
make a little less than half power.
With
WOT, the pumping losses from the dead half of the engine will be minimal, like
the braking of a diesel or 2-stroke engine.
Enough
power to at least “extend your glide”, and maybe enough to maintain altitude in
some cases.

OK to copy to the FLYROTARY list if you deem this worthwhile.
