Re: [FlyRotary] Re: More wild ideas was Re: [FlyRotary] Re: To Paul SOme diagnosis thoughts
Buly,
Bring on the bull, my Cozy won't have sumps on the side per plans( Vance
Atkinson's recomendation, he has flown his Cozy for years with a sump tank but
is not vented).
Much easier to use sump tank and no fuel valves, feed from both tanks, no
worry about engine out due to tank switching or selecting wrong tank. Maybe a
transfer pump might be in order since everyone says the tanks won't feed the
same ( could see the possibility if long lines were involved). Intend on
keeping the return lines balanced as to pressure drop (length & fittings and
such). I think dual vents, one to each main tank my be okay, but am leaning
toward Perry Micks valve capped vent so if feed is somehow restricted the fp can
suck fuel. As John Slade can testify how those pumps suck.

Wendell, why are you complicating your life?
Extra sump tank in a Cozy is useful as tits on a bull. Your strakes already
have built in sumps for each tank. On my plane the return fuel is returned
to the tank is drawn from. Buly
