Subject: No return fuel system.

I thought that one of the big advantages of a fuel return was that it constantly recirculated fuel and thus reduced the problem of vapor lock. I know that with the fuel pressures that we see in the FI system that is probably not ever going to be a problem.

On another note, I purchased one of those duplex fuel selectors that I think Bulent had made. I'm having second thoughts on using it, and going instead to two of the stock ones provided by Van's. The advantage is lighter weight and I can choose which tank gets the fuel returned to it. There is a change of mismanaging fuel, but I think the the weight penalty is a bigger concern.

Anyone interested in the duplex valve, used not at all?
