Is it ok to run BVM UAT on its side?

Yes: Go to the BVM website and download the .pdf instructions for it. Also check out Tony's tips on the Ram website. He says the UAT works well standing up. Best Bkf

i find the UAT works BEST on its side. I had issues when i hd one mounted vertically ... when pulling hard Gs , the tank would pass air through the top, as the fuel was pulled down the internal sock. Placing it sideways resolved all UAT related flame out issues for me ..

no....but better than nothink.....just instal it so while fueling air goes to the rest of the tanks....mine never had air in this way!

on its side ( wide side up ) and slightly tilted back is best .. no bubbles durring fueling, and no risk off fuel not being drawn up while under G loads .. I have experimented with this extensiely, and this is what i have found ..

if you are not pulling 15 - 20 Gs or more, it does not really matter ..

I have found the UAT works well in any position, of course that is if you don`t fly like Wojtek Also when filling for the first time use the center fitting on the cap so you fill the bladder from the inside out. Let the fuel stay in there a few days before running the motor and there will zero bubbles.

check out the pull up at arounf 3:50 ... anything more than that and i had the engine flaming out ... puting the UAT on its side resolved that completely
