I use 1 line to carb, 1 line from muffler...bent upward inside of tank of course, and the 3 rd line is from a second clunk to a fuel dot....have done this on several airplanes without a problem....
Same here. It is simple and reliable. I tried doign the 3rd line without a second clunk once. Filling was no problem but draining was a pain so I now use the second clunk.

I have had bad luck with the fuel fill valves on the market but I knwo some people like them. I just figure a simpel plug in the 3rd line like a fuel dot is nearly foolproof.

This is all on a typical glow engine of course. On a gasoline engine or glow engine such as a YS with a pump-type sytem I just T into the line coming from the tanl to the fuel inlet.
