Hi Paul and all

We are trying to make a decision re: fuel system.
I've attached a PDF with design and questions etc.
Could you please pull it to pieces, make recommendations?


Thanks

I don't think you want to return the flow from the sump tank back to
the main tank as the Facet will keep circulating fuel. I think you want
to seal the sump tank and allow the Facet to make up what is used by the
engine. Hopefully Perry Mick will chime in as he runs a similar system.

How large is the sump tank?

Steve,

While facet pumps are very reliable, if your facet pump fails, you're
immediately down to 8 gallons of fuel, maybe less once you realize it has
failed.  Just a thought...
