Hi

If you had a white smoke trail after flame out, it is a fuel feed problem. there is an air intake somewhere in the fuel line system. Some possible causes:

1 - tygon as harden over time and clunk does not move with plane
2 - UAT or other connections in the fuel line are allowing air to enter in the system
3 - Suction side of the pump is sucking air. Check the lines and eliminate all festos and connections in the suction side

Was your UAT empty after flame out?

Regards

No, my main tank still had 3/4 fuel and the air trap had a air bublle like 5mm in diameter wide.
