Default RE: Savage half tank EXTREME lean problem.

ORIGINAL: 378

There's a clunk on the end of some fuel line inside that airplane tank. Mounted horizontally, as it would be in an aircraft of some sort, this clunk will stay in the fuel when the truck flips over, allowing the engine to draw from the header tank while you walk over to it and flip it back over. Aircraft need this because they fly inverted and require fuel flow while doing so.
I did not put the clunk in the tank since the guy at the LHS said it wouldn't be needed. Its just2 brass tubesgoing into the tank (1 shorter to let fuel in and 1 that goes to the bottom to let fuel to the carb)and those are connected to the rubber fuel lines. Do you think that I need the clunk?
