Bill, et al,

I love the discussion of fuel systems in the 320/360 series. Lanc= e=20 could never imagined the variations introduced in this particular aircr= aft=20 plan.

They all seem to have worked sufficiently=20= well=20 that no crash (320/360) that I know of has been caused by a failure of=20= the=20 "fuel system" up to the engine pump. Bravo!

Bill, personally, I carry gallon zip lock bags stuffed with paper towel= s -=20 occasionally stained a bit yellow and deposited in the trash bin at the next= =20 fuel stop.

I hate interruptions to a nice smooth flight.

BTW, Kudos to the zipper inventor.
