I have only found it necessary to add a small hopper tank in my latest plane because the tank is u shaped and the pick up in the main tank does not always go where it should when inverted. There would have been no problem if the tank had been made as 2 separate tanks or with a divider in it.

John... I took your advice 3 years ago and I have never had a flame out since. Thanks!
