As my expert friend Lior said, they (SM) should have provided the front tank divided to 2 separate tanks, thus each turbine gets it's own fuel system.
Oh well, we'll go with what we have....
In mine I cut the front tank in two and created a baffle which effectively splits the tank in 2 parts, to keep the clunks away from each other. The two areas do communicate and fuel flows between the two at a somewhat slow rate, to keep the levels balanced as much as possible
Worked well so far, but haven't had the chance to put many flights on it yet unfortunately
