I think you are forgetting about the excess heat in the return fuel

Tom.

You don't want it right at the intake of the pump as the fuel supply

could

get hotter and the pump vapor lock. Also for vapor lock reasons one

would

like to have the pump buried in the fuel tank.

PLEASE DON'T  "T" the return line.   More than one pilot has died to

prove

the error of this practice.  I think the most recent fatality was in an

S51

Mustang here in Florida a few months ago.  Paul correctly identified one
good reason not to do this.  We could spend a lot of time discussing all

the

reasons this is bad practice.

Paul, thank you and Tracy Crook for setting me straight. I was looking for
the "kiss" fix, but it looks I only got half of it. The "simple and stupid"
half. Thanks again.

Your welcome Tom. That's why we are here.
