For canard builders, I'm guessing you don't want to return to the outside. 
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but since canards have small sumps to cope 
with extended nose-down periods, you'd want to return to the sump. Otherwise, 
you'd pump all the fuel out of the sump into the inaccessible portion of the 
tank (inaccessible during the extended nose-down period).

Is this correct? I know it's desirable to cool the fuel but haven't figured 
out anywhere else for it to go in my Cozy other than right back to the sump.

Regards,
Chad
