Rich with a few minor plumbing changes your fuel system will
work OK. This is pretty much how Bill described it.

Paul,
 I noticed that Rich's system does not show a Fuel Pressure Regulator.
Given that some of the EFI fuel pumps put out as much as 90 psi at low flow
and drop as low  as 40 psi at max flow, I would think Rich might find a lot
of difficulty in setting his injector timing.

Good point Ed. I had not noticed that. Also there needs to be some small
holes in the top of the flapper valves to vent the inner tanks when filling 
the system with fuel. An air bubble in the inner tanks could cause them to not 
fill completely. I forgot to include that in the modified schematic.
A small vent line from top of inner tank to top of outer thanks would
work as well. Probably better.

BTW do you have a picture of your new oil sump? Bill has a point about
that high pressure seal.
