Thanks for your input, the UAT that I have does not have a bag in it, just a paper fillter on the end of the solid brass rod suspended in the middle of the tank, what I have done is run a full tank of fuel through my turbine using the Orbit clunk and was amazed at how much fuel it took out of the tank, even when the fuel level had dropped below the top of the clunk the fuel still come out of the tank without any bubbles in the line, the residue fuel left was just that which was beyond the end of the clunk. I can see the use of them with multiple tanks, but with a single tank it looks to me from my own observations that if you use a good clunk which I think the Orbil felt and membrane one is and you have a good installation a UAT is not essential, by the way I am using one of your tanks with the Orbit clunk also bought from you.

I think its a bit like power boxes/match boxes those that use them say they are essential and in a multiple servo large jet they have there place, but in something like the Elan sports jet???
