Yeah great video... it completely disproves the "fuel sticks to the back of the tank on downlines, Myth".

As stated it is likely that the clunk is not travelling with the fuel when the plane is inverted and heading nose up.

Usually this is because the fuel line is too long...

In effect the clunk gets uncovered for a prolonged period of time.
