Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts.  I am building an SQ2000 canard pusher with a 13B. I have two
strake fuel tanks that would be considered "mid-wing". I plan on having a fuel line from each tank
into my approximately 2 gallon sump tank, and from there it will go to the fuel pumps, fuel rail,
and to the regulator.  My question is, is it best to have the unused return fuel from the fuel
pressure regulator go back into the sump tank, or run a seperate line back up into one of the fuel
strake tanks?
    I am getting ready to put the top on the second strake tank, and it would be best to install
any and all fuel lines before the top goes on permanently.
     Thanks so much for your suggestions. Hope to see as many rotaries as possible at Sun-N-Fun
soon.   Paul Conner
