Sorry for delay Chad, I picked this message up with 2nd computer. No
access. 

I hate to give out my details, as my fuel design is clearly inferior to
in tank pump systems. My 2 gallon header is located immediately above the
landing gear.  I have std fuel selector gravity fed from wing tanks. Vent
goes straight up and "T's" into the main tank vents. All return fuel goes
to 2 gallon sump. 
Doing it over, I'd have no fuel selector, no sump tank. I'd take better
advantage of plc and my monitoring sys. Even though I've had no
indications of fault.
