Stuttering at Spa?

Hi

Shimmy- if you dual feed a pump that 'sucks'
then it should always pull fuel, so long
as one of the feeds is always constantly fed.

The reason being that as fuel is heavier than
air, the pump has to suck the lighter air
through the heavier density fuel, of the constant
supply.

That is why its important to have some hose away from
the 'T' in both directions, so that if one of the feeds is exposed
to air, then its easier for the pump to keep sucking from
the constant feed, than to suck the lighter air in 'through'
the heavier fuel.

Regards,

The Gorilla.
