Default RE: Uni-Flow Tanks

First of all, lets all take a breath....
Secondly, the suggestion "Find a physics professor and show him the info" is really really great advice. Just get a smart one please.
Thirdly, after you have talked to the physics professor, Please let us all know what you learned (what I already know...).

I stand by my statement that the uniflow tank is bogus. Properly set up (NOT open-vented to the atmosphere), it will still provide muffler pressure and insure more even fuel feed during the flight, just not any better than the conventional plumbing arrangement (if vented to the atmosphere then you have accomplished absolutely nothing. Just because the tube comes out under the fuel surface doesn't change the pressure situation at all. Basic physics).

Let me ask the uniflow advocates a simple question. How come SULLIVAN, DUBRO, HAYES, GREAT PLANES, ETC. ETC. Etc. all recommend the top vented muffler taps? Who the heck are the experts here. Them or Mr. Frasier Ker??
