Ok guys I need to make some changes here, I set this system up to feed a mechanical fuel pump on a 2200 Jabiru which then feeds the Bing carb, My fuel pump is over pressuring by 2psi which is making my float needle leak, So I can either install a fuel pressure regulator or I do have the option to run Gravity feed, Now I know what your gonna, say run gravity if you can, But here is the dilemma, in order to run gravity my fuel comes through the fire wall then needs to run up hill 2 inches then back down to the carb, Sounds like a bad idea to me, I made a sample of what the fuel line needs to do and taped it to the firewall, why don't you guys have a look, and tell me if this is a bad move,
