Bill,

I'm a little concerned about what effect the added 5psi would have on
the fuel system.

Does someone know offhand what the difference is between hi and low
boost?  I think low boost might become "low boost plus", same for
high.

Of course very scenario has trade-offs.  I'd want to get as much fuel
as possible out of the ferry tanks, and plumbing directly to the
engine and then going very low on that tank makes me nervous too.

Thanks,

Dave Saylor
