Hi John,
The return fuel to the reserve tank is a very small amount due to the restri
ctor placed in the return line pipe from the T intersection. Most excess fue
l now flows out through an overflow tube from the new Rotax engine mechanica
l fuel pump. I would prefer to make sure the reserve fuel filter is not bloc
ked and the flow to the engine is uninhabited by selecting the Reserve first
for 30 mins then back to the Main for the last 30mins, a conservative appro
ach.
Cheers,
Tim
