I am still looking at different designs for a fuel system.
AC has two
separate tanks. Since we are using two rotors is it possible
to split the
fuel rail into two rails and have one of the returns plumbed to
the port
tank and the other plumbed to the starboard tank? Any problems
splitting
the fuel rail? Just a crazy idea.

You could certainly have
two separate fuel rails, split either primary/secondary, or
rotor-1/rotor-2. You would need a second regulator, and would have to run
two pumps all the time.
Were you thinking about
feeding one rotor from each tank, to keep from having to ever switch
tanks in flight? That is an interesting thought, though it would
probably be safer to split the fuel primary/secondary. I actually
thought about doing that back when I was having so much trouble with my
mismatched primary and secondary injectors. I figured I could modify
the pressure to the rails, to balance them out. Never tried it though, and
the rev-2 FWF arrangement will have matching injectors
finally.
Cheers,
Rusty (the one who
usually has the crazy ideas <g>)
