Thanks pjporham.

Do you have any pictures or a diagram of how the tanks are connected? The exhaust tube is going into the fuselage tank. Then does the other fuselage tank tube go into the exhaust tube of the nacelle tank? And then the other nacelle tank tube goes to the engine? So the fuselage tank is pushing fuel into the nacelle tank through the exhaust tube? Is the nacelle tank set up like a normal tank, with the exhaust tube bent up or is it modified?

I just drew this on my PC hope it helps. I would like to get only one "A" tank but I think it would require valves. but that would give me a smoke tank:D

Looks pretty simple. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks.

What problem do you see without valves? Low pressure only one engine running?

Found this in another forum:


Dan:

Almost without exception you will find multi engined models have one tank per engine. To get even fuel feed at the relatively large distances involved a single tank has to be run with a full pressure system (Cline or Iron Bay), or a separate pump on each engine.

I think you'll get the single tank effect because the nacelle tank acts as a header tank close to the engine. I could be wrong though. The twin I have planned is going to have pumped engines anyway.
