Default RE: Successfully not using a UAT?

Thanks for all the responses! I knew I could count on you guys for good info!

This is a twin turbine installation using JetCentral Super Eagle turbines in a BVM Rafale. The two silicone tanks shown are the header tanks in front of two additional tanks per turbine. Those header tanks are Dubro 16 oz center pickup, and I have currently installed the large Walbro felt clunks for pickup. I've used a UAT on every other jet I've ever had, so, I just want to be sure that I'm on the right track for this install, if I decide to go with no UAT.

Unless I plan on doing extended negative G maneuvers, wouldn't a higher or top mounted pickup tank work just as well? Felt or pleated paper, same effectiveness? i checked Dreamworks site didn't find pleated paper pickups.
