Default RE: Fuel starvation in a dive?

Besides the inertial force that keeps the fuel at the back of the tank, there is also pressure within the tank which pushes the fuel towards it's outlet (the carburetor) provided as mentioned that you're 1/3 full or more.. with little fuel in the tank, yes you can have a flame out in a long-not so vertical... dive... hasn't happened to me (yet)
