As a matter of fact I 'd even suggest that I wouldn't want it, but I'd certainly want the ability to pump it forward to force cool fuel into the header tank, thereby forcing any possible vapour back through the vent line. I don't have any problems drawing fuel through my Facet pumps and I wouldn't be without them. =20 Just my 2 bits Todd =09 =20 Thanks for the info, Tracy. My only concern is this....if the Facet pump was not involved, might it be better to have it back in the system so that if I have a future problem, I could turn the Facet pump on to pressurize the sump tank with fresh fuel? Ed seems to be comfortable with this, and has had to use it. =20 ------_=_NextPart_001_01C519FF.A04246B0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Re: [FlyRotary] Re: Vapor Lock
