Colyn,
Here’s a reply that I sent to Charley Brown with
essentially the same question:
Right Charley, no fuel selector valve. I have a
header tank between the right side of the instrument panel (no instruments
there) and the firewall. It holds 15 gallons and the engine runs ONLY from the
header. This system is very much like the 320/360 fuel system. The header is
supplied from a manifold mounted on the fwd face of the spar box, under the
pilot’s thigh. Fuel from any of the aux tanks (wing tanks included) is gravity
fed to the manifold through an on/off valve for that particular aux tank. From
the manifold, the fuel is pumped by 3 facet pumps to the header. Each pump is
powered by a different electrical system and any one can more than keep up with
the engine.

So
how does the "no fuel selector" part work?
Everything is plumbed into the one boost pump?
