| Subject: | Left\Right Fuel Systems? |
After ~150 hours of flying I am changing my fuel system from the factory
plans. The problem\hassel of fuel sloshing and un-even feeding in flight
has been too much.
What I am proposing \ doing is to have to quick drains on "T" pipes where
the factory gascolator is. From there each line would move forward into the
cabin and have it's own fuel filter.
The fuel filters will then feed into a Left\Right\Both selector. From the
selector the fuel would go to a "real" gascolator and then finally into the
engine.
Has anyone flown with this sort of setup? Any problems?
This is more complex than the "default", but after a year and a half I
think it is worth it....
Thanks,
John Marzulli

I simply installed valves on each fuel line as it enters the cabin above
my head. Since the right tank feeds first on my airplane, that is the
only valve I need to control during flight. Works great for me.
