Getting close to bonding in Cockpit Module, figure should sort out the game plan
for
fuel system.

Have a few questions. Will be using 914 on XS Monowheel.

1) Instead of using the supplied filters, has anyone used 2 Andair 
Gasculator/Filters,
one for each fuel pump? How many hours flight time, ever have any clogging or 
flow
problems because of the fine mesh?

2) I am not too keen on having vent on the top of the fuse. Would like to 
install
on
the bottom.
    A) What size vent line to use that pokes out the bottom of the fuse?
    B) What shape vent line, Straight with a 45 degree cut off facing into the
wind or
a bent into the wind vent?
    C) How far below the fuse to let the vent stick out so it is not under a 
vacuum?
    D) Has anyone run 2 vents instead of 1?
    E) What is a good location of vent on Mono?

3) As far as routing the vent lines, you need to go up and if plumbed into the
filler,
it would act as a siphon break. What is a good way to somehow plumb into the 
filler
neck and get a good seal?

Thanks
