This alteration will install fuel tanks in the wings and modify the fuel system

Additional information will be shown in the appropriate section
Builder Note: This fuel system design allows you to move fuel from the left tank to the right tank.

If you turn on the left wing's tank pump the fuel will enter and fill the header tank then exit through the vent line to the right wing.

If you turn on the right wing's tank pump the fuel will enter and fill the header tank then exit through the vent line and return to the right wing
and some may go to the right wing.
The fuel valve has four positions

The pointer selects where the comes from (not the handle)

  Back Header Tank - primary position  
  Left Left wing tank to engine *  
  Right Right wing tank to engine *  
  Forward Fuel off  
       

* Note the left and right selection on the fuel valve should only be used at altitude
to balance the fuel in the left and right tank.

Never to be used on landing, take off or climb.

Note this page will be modified after all test flight are completed.
This system's fuel valve should be used in the header tank position for normal flight.
To use this system in any other mode requires a total understanding of the fuel system

Builder Note: if the engine fuel pump fails and header pump fails then set the fuel valve to the left tank and turn on the left & right tank pump land as soon as possible.
