Fuel Tank systems on most GA aircraft...
Hi,

most low wing GA prop aircraft are equipped with fuel selectors for "Left" / "Right" only, usually no "Both" choice, while high wing aircraft usually have the 3 options.

Is it a question of simplification, cost reduction due to the systems / pumps that would otherwise be required on low wing aircraft ?

Thanks for any hints…
