I would like to get some idea, what is the best way to build the fuel
return system of the 13b in a Cozy. Per plans we have two tanks with
fuel selector valve. I have my own ideas, but would like to hear from
some people with more experience.
How to prevent one tank from over filling by the return fuel, without
having a complicated pilot managed fuel system?

I use and return fuel from the left tank only.  I have a small electric pump
to transfer fuel from right tank to left.  Eliminates a lot of plumbing.
Only pitfall is forgetting to turn the transfer pump off and pumping fuel
out the vent if the left tank is full.  I have a light on the panel to
remind me it is on.

Tracy I am thinking of attending the Shady Bend flyin. When is it again?
I have a new DB meter. It would be fun to measure the noise on a rotary
powered airplane compared to a recip.
