Hi,

How do people running an injection based LH fuel tank plumb their RH tank?

Cheers,

It's unlikely that many people with an MPI would want a RH tank. The LH tank holds 7.5 gallons which at 40 mpg gives a working range of 280 miles with a bit of reserve.
The RH tank was really for the early Cooper 'S' which only had a 5.5 gallon tank as standard and in rallying at about 14 mpg it was just too small. With the RH 5.5 gallon tank a total capacity of 11 gallons was just about sufficient even when the consumption dropped to 12 mpg on the special stages (well, that's what mine does).
