Paul.
I was very close on maidening the UF yesterday, however my main jet tech tank fitting created a leak so back to the operating table she went.

When i tested the main tank i replaced the fitting with my wing tank fitting to establish if it was the fitting or the tank. Im glad to report it was the fitting. So i connected up the entire system and started fueling her up. On de fueling I noticed once saddle tank was empty and the other not...obviously the fuel is following the path of least resistance BUT what was starnge is that my pipe lenghts were identical.

So im not keen on having a model that creates doubt regarding fuel and flame outs..so i changed my setup to be 1 main tank and 1 wing tank. I also plugged the spare breather. Must say i feel a lot more comfortable.
