Guys, I want to interject someting here. Vance can tell you this as well. Solly the gent who
purchased Kis and Pulsar had a crash caused by exactly what this thread is talking about. He
plumbed the return into one of his wing tanks on his new Super Pulsar. He went up to fly with both
tanks about 1/2 full. The flight was only to be about 15 minutes "around the patch". Due to the
volume of fuel transfered he ran one tank dry, ON FINAL! He wasn't able to switch tanks, (if he
even though to). He didn't quite make the runway and crunched his new plane up. He was unhurt
fortunatly.  While this is certainly pilot error casued by lack of understanding of how much fuel
was recirculated, the point is it could happen to you. Get one of the andair or similar fuel
switching systems that plumb the fuel back to the tank being drawn from. The possibility to over
look the fuel transfer is simply to much to risk. The frequent pilot might remember to switch but
someone coming back from some time off is the most likely to forget, and the least likely to
recover from a problem. Best to avoid this solvable problem. Bill Jepson

I second that motion Bill. The Andair is expensive but well worth it in my
estimation.
