Default RE: Higher clunk science

Hi sfsjkid,

Totally agree with what you're saying, however I inspected the tubing very carefully and could not find any punctures/leaks. I still use the same fuel-lines with the new clunk and it seems to have solved my problem, but time will tell. I can believe that this new clunk has a better safety margin though....

What I am wondering about (more in general) is indeed when you look at the 'physics' of the tank and clunk... When you take a half-full tank and hold it 'nose-down' the clunk will come out of the fuel (as it doesn't fall forward far enough to stay under) which in my mind can only have the result of sucking air rather than fuel....Aren't bubbles unavoidable in such a case or am i missing something?

Anyway...More things to keep us occupied

Cheers,

Johan
