geez be careful....moving a running aircraft around while you're trying to look at the back of the tank....get help.....
the clunk cannot touch the back of the tank.....at anytime
Yeah and the 1/4" recommended clearance is a very good idea.

Under higher "G" loading the tubing to the clunk can stretch, causing it not to move up or down as the plane is violently thrown about.

Found this out the hard way.
