Checked out the tank position today and its outlet is above carb inlet level. However there is no way to correct this since the hole for fuel tubing to pass through firewall is above that level. Instead, I looped the tubing in such a way that it is raised above the top of the fuel tank and then back down to the carb forming a siphon. Wont this prevent the flooding?

Also, the fuel tank on my plane is old and I can see some dirt floating around inside. Is it a good idea to install an inline filter such as the Great Planes inline filter at enggine suction? Will this reduce the amount of fuel entering the engine causing cutting out?
