Default Push/Pull Fuel System Plumbing Trouble?

Marcus,,
One would think that as each engine has pressure to its own tank, that running two engines would require two pressure lines..
Answer: NOT ..
Only run ONE line from one engine to presurre the fuel tank.. Even
as such, the first engine will pressure the tank and can cause second engine to flood, so start first one and then right away
start second one..
I have one plane that is using this set-up.. It is also the last time I will feed two engines from one tank.. Too much pumbing and too
much aggravation if done as a direct hook up..
