I also land with approximately 1/4 tank left on the Leonardo.....AND, the Leonardo's tank was not round like the Rebel Pro tank, so I expect it to be just as good on the Rebel.
I would definitely like to know your results.

BEFORE
AFTER the same 8 minute flight
With my six-litre CMjet tank with the heavy pickup and brass tubing in the middle, my trap tank had about twice as much air as your UAP tank.
I using the largest filter Carlos has, 22 mm felt pickup filter, plus I will remove the tubing.
When Carlos built my tank I asked him to use Viton tubing so these improvements it will certainly reduce the amount of air in my Map tank.
I can fly for 9.5 minutes and still have 1/4 to a1/3 tank of fuel left after landing amazing how when flying sequences and using the throttle you can save on fuel consumption.
