Hi! all.
If there is ever any doubt about probably having too much pressure delivered
to the float chambers then us a Petrol King Fuel Economiser. It is actually
a pressure regulator and is fully adjustable. For instance the Jabiru and
Bing carb combination calls for a MAXIMUM of 2 psi at the
float bowl.

I agree they're cool, but I was referring to the old barrel style
pumps. The Facet square job I have seems like there might be too much
back pressure to use in a "series" system. And on the Rotax, the each
pump has to pull fuel uphill too. I got this mental block about
fiddling with critical systems, to be checked out in flight testing!
