Hi Paul.
If i understood correctly it is better to employ the same scheme as the IC helicopters.
A normal 1,5 ltr tank and a header tank much like that used in the Raptor helicopter.
Are those header tanks suitable for turbine use?
If yes i suspect that a one way valve is needed for the tank in order to breath air since there is no
exaust pressure line like the exaust pipes of the IC engines have.
Thanks, Chris

In essence it is the same idea, as its about trapping both air and dirt, except we use tygon and kero fuel tubing. The header doesn't breath, idealy remaining full with maybe a small bubble of air trapped, only the main tank breaths in at high level. Its often seen that the header sides are sucked in slightly when the pump is running hard.
