Greetings,
 
As I continue = on the=20 painfully slow process of de-BUC-ing the plane, I'm looking into = plumbing=20 options for the EWP's.  The Meziere adapter has two inlets, and one = outlet=20 to the engine.  The plan is to run the one large outlet to a Y = splitter,=20 then to each evap core.  Since there are two core outlets, two = EWP's, and=20 two inlets to the engine, it's mighty tempting to let each EWP handle = only one=20 core.  It's certainly the simplest way to plumb it.  BTW, I do = have=20 one way valves, so there will be no backflow through the pump that's=20 off.
