fuel tank venting w/perry regulated pump

[Scott Anderson]

Steve,

I'm surprised some bleeding heart has not tried to stop us from flying with glow sooner  <VBG>
I guess I must have lucked out with my system.. I don't seem to have any raw fuel on the belly of the plane.

food for thought...

  The T with the check valve keeps you from dumping fuel on down lines.  I was amazed at how much cleaner my plane stayed when I went this route.  I'm using it on both the Curare and the Viper.  Keeps both much cleaner.  Sooner or later the environmentalists will find we're dumping raw fuel on our down lines and they'll protest the down lines.  We need to protect our selves. :<)

  Ron,

   

  I use the KISS system... no "t" or check valves.. just a fitting thru the floor.. ask Ed Hartley how well the plane works.. :)

    Ron I put a one way valve in the line, with a T in it,. Plug the T when thru fueling.         Nat

      i just installed a perry pump and the instructions say not to use muffler pressure to the tank. my question is, how do i vent the tank properly so i don't create a siphon from the vent line?
