The smaller lines to the drains are based on Terry Seaver's comments and
testing.
Q: What is the device with the red-top just a bit forward of the fuel pump?
Total fuse flow sensor from AF 2500 engine monitor.

Q: Are you still using the two under-seat fuel filters as well as the
gascolator?
Yes, I am not comfortable using the gascolator as a filter. Will it filter fuel?
Yes. Was it design to? I'm not sure. I have not done this yet but I think that
the surface area of that small pleated filter is larger than the area of the
gascolator screen. Even if its not, I like being able to switch to a clean
filter
if I ever sputter into silence.
While were on the subject of clean fuel, I removed my fuel level probe the other
day. I peeked into the small hole, into my "sealed clean tank" port side. Dust!
fine white fiberglass dust! on the port side. Checked my sealed, duct taped,
fuel inlet and vent holes, they still looked good. The dust is on the port
side, I can't imagine what is on the starboard. I intended to flush the system,
but now I will be very vigilant.
