I understood the idea of having 2 pumps when the injectors were in 2 seperate places and the
primary and secondary injectors were fed seperately, but now we have this manifold with all

the

injectors in a line and I assume a single fuel rail...uh

are we using one pump now?

I've got separate fuel rails- primary and secondary, so after teh fuel leaves the fuel filter

the line T's off to the separate fuel rails. The fuel returns T back into each other and then go
back to the apropriate tank through a selector valve.

After mulling it over quite a bit, I'm leaning toward going with my original plan- one pump per

tank, along with an electric 6 port valve. The same switch that actuates the 6 port valve
operates the apropriate fuel pump. The first thing you do in event of an engine hiccup it to
switch tanks, right?

We've got two strake tanks feeding a large sump, 3-4 gal's worth. Was going to return fuel to the
sump. Seperate shutoff valves for L & R tanks (side by side levers).
I can see Perry's paralel pumps, we have two available as well as two pickups from the sump so
that would work.
Any alarms going off yet?
