      I gave all my grandkids rides last evening. It was a very nice evening to fly.

Need explanation of fuel system w/dual 5gal pickups
From:

      I am rebuilding a Firestar II project.  It has two 5 gal tanks, I have the plans
      from the mid-90's and (I thought) I had a pretty good understanding of aviation
      fuel systems and venting.
      
      However, I am seeing both tanks fed together to a T and then up to the pump or
      primer etc..   What I am missing is how the fuel is drawn from the tanks equally.
      It seems to me that once air is introduced to EITHER fuel pickup, the system
      will be fuel starved.  
      
      I realize there is something I am not picking up from the drawings.  I do not see
      any depiction of the venting which may hold the key.  In any event, I would
      appreciate a few comments on best practices for plumbing the two standard 5 gal
      tanks.
      
      Thanks,
      Dave
