   One final thought.....my aluminum sump tank in not vented. Seems we discussed this at length when I was building this thing, and since the overflow is pumped into the sump tank, the fuel might just be pumped right out of the vent. Take care. Paul Conner

Paul, the returning fuel is less than the fuel taken out. Without the vent, how do you make up the difference?

Hi, Buly....the balance of the fuel just comes from the main tank.  As fuel is used from the sump tank, more fuel is gravity fed into the sump tank, which is located lower than the main tanks. Paul Conner
