Todd,

 

Attached is a drawing of my fuel system.  The ball shut off and check valves are not necessary, but a convenience to allow removal of the enclosure containing the selector valve, screen, pumps, and filters from the cockpit for maintenance even when the tanks contain fuel.

    I'm thinking that we need to have a library of sorts where we can have access to drawings of current fuel systems as well as proposed fuel systems. I was thinking that the rotary Wiki would be ideal, but I just visited it and it seems to be defunct now. I believe Bob White used to administer it. It was not particularly easy to navigate anyways.
    Ed, could you post a drawing of your system? And any body else that would like to add their system for others to consider, no matter how simple or complex. Any description that could be added would be valuable as well. Even if you think your system is basically the same as another that's been posted, it would still be valuable as each system will have it's subtle differences based on a builders needs and preferences.
    Even if just attached to reply of this post, then they will all end up in the archives under a subject heading that will be easy to find in a quick archive search.
