At the Winterfest race, Dub Jett was telling people that had high wing quickies (which was all of them), that if the airplanes nose didn't droop 1/4 from the centerline sideview, that they needed to run an oval tank to move the fuel higher in the fuselage. Those that had the droop ran fine with the regular round tanks.
Now thats interesting HP and no doubt that is with his round bubbless tanks as opposed to the rectangular Tetra's. Oh man in this heated debate Cutaway is gonna kill me if I admit I only use my leftover tetras stash in my Ukies anymore
Anyway Just wanted to ring in here say I do feel the tank/Spraybar height relationship is an important consideration That should always be taken into consideration.
MercerAUST any conventional Muffler/suction fuel system with a three inch discrepancy i.e. the tank center three inchs above the spraybar is going to be endemic and prone to hydrolock as well as flooding.
