• 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. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I have a Revmaster 2100D engine with a Revmaster Revflow carb. The carb takes 1-1.5 PSI and is designed for Gravity feed. I'd like to install a low pressure Facet aux pump and plan to put it in line between the tank and gascolator with a bypass around it to allow gravity flow. I'd only use the pump for landing and takeoff. I presume I'd need a one way check valve in the bypass line to keep the facet pumped fuel from returning to the tank. If that is correct, will a check valve restrict the flow of fuel when using gravity feed?
