Tracy, I use an 8 lt collector tank behind the baggage compartment with shut-off valves at each wing root to control fuel flow. My return goes to the collector. An emergency shut-off in the main line at the instrument panel cuts off all flow from the collector. Works well for me.

Tracy ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 01:05:07 PM PST US From: "carl" Subject: Re: Zenith701801-List: Re: 914 fuel sytem ? Tracy, Continued from my last post yesterday. Have three 1/4 brass ball valve purchased at Princess Auto for $4. a piece. The emergency shut-off on the instrument panel is ON and is never OFF except during maintenance or emergency. The valve on the left tank is OFF except for long Xcountries,. The right is turned OFF after flight and stays OFF until the next start to test the LOW FUEL warning light in the collector then ON for TO. On a long xcountry I turn it OFF when the collector LOW FUEL warning come ON steady and then feed the left tank.
