BTW Mike, If your tanks are cross connected with a simple line
I see no need to return the fuel to more than one tank.
The only thing you need to worry about is a slip toward
a near empty tank.

I would think that for the cross connect line to work as described, it
would have to flow roughly the max rate of BOTH pumps (takeoff with full
tanks), but do it at only 6 or 8 inches of 'head.' How big a pipe would
it take to gravity feed 60 to 80 GPH with less than 8" of fall?

Hey Charlie why 60 GPH???? We don't have 1000 HP here?
360 pounds of fuel at .5 pound BSFC equals 720 HP.
