That would indicate the installation of the Flint tip tank system which requires manually operated electric transfer of fuel from tip tank to main tank whereafter the fuel is gravity fed to the engine? So what do you do, run the mains almost dry and then switch over to auxiliary tanks thereby feeding the engine and replenishing the mains at the same time? FAA regulations prohibit the simultaneous use of mains and replenishment of mains from a Flint tip tank. It sounds as though it is a less than simple fuel system, not one for juggling about with in a fully loaded single in the dark over Africa?
