Ross Colebrook:    Re. your 31 Dec.1998 LML note on Facet Pumps.  Good
info!  But  a few questions.  
   1. How do you have your pumps wired?  Separate switches?  Switch
interlock to prevent pump from running when tank is not selected?
   2. Do you use the facet pump all the time or just for starting,
takeoff and landing?
   3. Have you ever checked minimum fuel levels - i.e., the point where
rough air might cause the pump to suck air?  Did you put slosh doors in
your tanks?
I've given a lot of thought to the fuel system.  I don't really want a
header tank, but have serious concerns about not using one, especially
with respect to question #3.  Your comments would be much appreciated.
Anyone else care to add their $0.02?
