Default RE: Second Plane

All good field equipment that you've selected.

The electric fuel pumps are fast and they're good for sucking extra fuel out of your tank once you land. You have to watch your fill lines and exhaust lines, or you can accidentally spill a lot of fuel on the ground in a hurry.

A hand-cranked fuel pump won't dump fuel on the ground or create so much pressure that your fueliing nipple pops off your fill line. It will still create enough suction in reverse to pull left-over fuel out of your tank.

It's not a huge difference, I don't dislike my electric pump so much that I want to replace it.
