I can not believe that the O-200 mod was designed for the electric pump to just fill the centr tank and then to be shut off. I would think that it would have the samr type of restrictor that we have in the engine driven pumps.to supply fuel to to center tank at all times. I suggest that you check with John Cooper on this to see if I am right. Regards, Tom Cook

In draining the header tank I noticed that the sight gauge indicator dropped out of sight long before the tank ran dry. Also, one trip around the pattern with the electric pump off resulted in an indicator half way down the glass tube. I realize that in a Coupe with an engine driven fuel pump the pump keeps the tank fuel. With the O-200, the electric pump is turned on to fill the tank and turned off when it's full. My question is what does the header tank level indicator represent? Does it's level indicate the amount of fuel in the tank-as would seem reasonable. Maybe someone with the conversion could give me some guidance. Thanks. Larry Dixon N99493
