Good catch. Your point is well taken. Now I have to figure out which of
the numerous Europa and Rotax fuel systems designs my scheme was based on,
or which one I may have mis-interpreted.
...and I missed the point that you mounted the filters outside of the cabin
thus negating the need for easy spill proof removal.

Hi Rob
"Ron, I very much like your implementation but I would add one improvement,
that being quick disconnect fittings to permit removal of whatever filters
are used without flooding the cabin with fuel when the filters need to be
removed for cleaning or replacement."
I have two Andair 375 gasculators sealed in a box with access from outside
the aeroplane (not under the wing either). Easy access, just unscrew bowl
after you drain from quick drain and spin off filter/s.

I looked at your two series fuel filters drawing. Are you planning on having
two sets (of two parallel filters each)? If not and you only plan on 1 pair
of parallel filters, once they clog, turning on pump #2 in either a series
with bypass, or parallel fuel system will not be of much use.
