Mark S.,
I know that your 20b install is different that
mine, a low wing tricycle vs high wing taildragger. I'm copying a successful
fuel system that is being used on a v-6 and one v-8 installs. Fuel lines
under the cowl are on the cool side of the engine. So is the TB. Two 3/8 lines
from the tank to a T with a 1/2 inch feed going to the gascolator. Then 1/2 in
to the two fuel pumps/filters in parallel. One 3/8 line from the filters
going to a bulkhead fitting on the firewall than to the feed rail. The
return line goes back on a 3/8 line to a T and back to the tanks. Plan A
is to have both wings feeding, and both wings able to take the return fuel where
ever it wants to go to. Time will tell how much and where it feeds
and returns to. I can however pick which tank to go
for the return and feed. The return ports are about an inch above the pickups
(2) on the wing. Gascolator, fuel pumps, and filters are going under the floor
of the cockpit. Should there be a gas leak in the cabin, I would
rather have it there than have it under the cowl with the turbo.
There will be a vent for the pumps to stay cool. Will be using Cub style
of site gauges for fuel levels.
You and Bob going to OSH this
year?
Murphy note. Many builders seal the metal wet
wing that has NINE &%^#$#%& stringers going thru it. There are
alot that test great and start to leak on taxi tests and on the first 40
hours. Mine tested great. I hope they leak so I can open them
out to 120 gallon tanks.......
My wife wants a EC-2 for a 20bt for her
birthday........... Hmmmm
