Default RE: sundowner 50 engines?

Some of those real limp fuel lines that let the clunk go everywhere have a small inside diameter and may not let enough fuel though for a thirsty engine. The limp lines have been more prone to dissolving, pin holes, tears and eventually kinking so keep an eye out for that. All of my tanks are set up so the clunk gets to the four corners only at the rear of the tank, unless the plane stops suddenly
It's only when the fuel is REAL low on a long dive I may hear it want to shut down. I’ve not YET had the need to go to a bladder tank even with my 26k df engines.
