Yes Vincent, most of the setup will work on a flexible UAT if done properly ( limited restrictions, large vent ) up to 160N class engines.

However I have seen my F-84G getting 4 flameouts with a brand new P-160SX. That was only due to the BVM UAT getting vacuumed and generating cavitation.
This same UAT has been used since then with a P-60 and gives complete satisfaction.

I have to agree with Vin, it's what i like to call 'Troubleshooting Symptoms Not Problems', the likely cause of your problem was restrictions in the fuel system that caused problems with your UAT and if the P-60 system saw a proportional restriction it would give the same cavitation.
