I'm New Here
Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum (although I've been on and off with a build of my RV7A for 7 years now!). I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on tip tanks and whether they can feed the engine directly (everything I see online speaks of transferring from the tip tank to the main tank).
I understand that a tip tanks may not have a fuel gauge, sump and pickup as standard but has anyone got experience in plumbing the tip tanks such that they feed the engine directly though the tank selector valve?
I've bought a nice Andair valve selector with separate inlet ports for two tip tanks but realise now that if I can't get a tank to feed directly to the engine, then I've got the wrong valve.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Rowan
