Jim S.Hi Gramps, when you wake up from you nap, take a swig of Geritol, and answer a question for me  :-) What happens if one tank runs out of fuel, and you have both pumps on?   Will some air get pushed into the fuel stream?  I thought about hooking mine up the way you have it, but was worried about this (possible) problem.   I'm still not completely satisfied with my fuel system.  It's hooked up just like Tracy's, and maybe I'll like it better if I ever get that automatic fuel transfer timer set up.  Hey Ed, weren't you the one making that at one time? Cheers,Rusty (young whipper snapper to you)
