This is a gravity feed constant dribble system that only works
at part throttle. Klause tested it on his O-200 and it works like
a charm.
A slight vacuum in the intake manifold down stream
from the throttle draws fuel into the intake manifold.
It uses -2 AN lines and a valve under the header tank.
By diddling the throttle and the valve you can achieve a wide range
of power.
If your alternator goes out or the electronic fuel injectors
fail this system will get you to an airport. You shut off the high pressure
fuel pump and thereby save a lot of battery power. All you need is enough
power to run the ignition system. For a pusher it
works from the main tanks. For a low wing tractor it needs
a header tank in the cowl. The fuel level must be above
the inlets to the manifold.
