• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web.

Hey all,

My S-1 is set up for racing at Reno, not aerobatics. Therefore, no inverted fuel and oil setups.

Given that info, here is how my plane is currently plumbed and I'm wanting some expert advice if this is correct, or just overly complex, or just plain old incorrect.

I have the standard 19-gal fuel tank, an electric fuel pump, and an Airflow Performance FM-200 servo.

My biggest questions/concerns/curiosity is why the fuel comes through the firewall and into a "T" fitting prior to entering the electric fuel pump, then exiting the fuel pump into another "T" fitting. Seems like a lot of T's in the system.

Thanks for taking a look.
