If that is a high wing airplane as I suspect it would be best
to copy the Cessna 172 fuel system and run two feed and return
lines down & back to each wing tank. There is a both position on
the Cessna fuel valve on my 182 and that usually draws more fuel
from one tank for some strange reason.

Good idea. Where can I get a detailed fuel hook up manual with 2 tanks
in each wing?

Try your local FBO perhaps a Cessna 206 or 210.

Does anyone remember who the dealer was at S&F that had all those
used manuals?

Rich,

What exactly are you looking for?  I have some and can scan,
but will be on vacation and too busy for a week.

As an example - the C185 is fuel injected, high-wing (of course)
and has two pickups in each tank, T'd together, feeding a
common sump which feeds back to the top of both tanks (T'd)
and each tank has its own vent.  No selector valve, both tanks
(all four inlets) feed the sump all the time.  The pump
draws from and returns to the sump.  This is a simple system.

Dual tanks in each wing is unusual in high wings, and I
would guess that they drain the outboard into the inboard,
but it seems like this would cause overflow in the vent.
You need to find a system like this and copy it.  All the
ordinary Cessna singles have only two tanks from the
factory (as far as I know).
