Sounds good to me, too, but Ed, how do you (or do you) keep the fuel from
going to the low wing when parked?  I am building an anphib and this would be
a problem on the water.

I am going to side with Jeff on this. Fuel temp could get to be a real
problem on takeoff. Use a fuel cooler if you are going to do it this way.

Hi Guys;
      Paul not a problem, planned on using a fuel cooler
regardless, (Had to "dead stick it in" once due to fuel
vaporising, been using one ever since, cheapest
insurance to have)  My question now is: What constitutes
a safe fuel temperature range/target?

Ed......Have you taken fuel temperatures during extended
idling? If not could you?
How hot does it get where you commonly use this system?
75 hrs. over what period?
                                Thanks...Butch Diaz Sr.
