Stuart, one point in addition to the electrical system info that has
already been discussed. I plumbed my 320 with 3/8 tubing instead of the
1/4 called out in the manual. I also added a crossflow valve (very
simple to do). Now if I have a single pump failure, I can simply open
the crossflow. The 3/8 line provides less resistance to flow than the
1/4 so fuel from both tanks will gravity flow to the center section, and
EITHER pump can pump BOTH wing tanks. Simple, light and easy to install.
