Default Dead Stick From a Spin...

Thanks in advance for any help. I tried the search and didn't really see too many threads on this. When I'm in a long spin straight down or a flat spin, my engine often quits from lack of fuel. I have shortened my aerobatics and have no problem with the engine. My question is, what if I would put a small 1 or 2 ounce tank, with no clunk, in line between the engine and main tank. Pressure would keep fuel supplied (in theory) to the small tank and being no clunk, would be supplied with fuel at any angle. I would just have an inlet tube and outlet tube, and would have constant fuel supply as long as the tank was full. Again, I think pressure would keep it filled.
Please let me know if anyone has tried this and if anyone thinks this would work. Also, if anyone has any better ideas, I would really appreciate that too.
Thanks,
Steve
