I'm not sure if you mistook the discussion for arguing. If so, not my intent. My tanks are installed and set up just the way you recommended. I just took the time to verify it all, including my side trip with that Tank #1 vent position. It's not just about flying inverted, etc. Tygon hardens after a while, sometimes leaving the clunk above where it should be. Sometimes hard landings or carrying the plane kink the clunk, too. Your recommended setup makes sense on several levels.

Happy New Year everyone!
Sorry if my last comment of 'my last post on this topic' came across wrong. I just ran out of constructive input and didn't have anything else to contribute. My guess is that you may have other questions in the future on the wing tube, elevator servo mounting, landing gear install - all areas that most of us struggled with at one point or another. If so, please ask and I will try to provide help. Best of luck with the F-86, and yes, Happy New Year!
Regards,
Gus
