I know I read a thread or post on here but Ive spent the last 20 minutes looking and cant find it. It would help if I could remember who it was but I cant. It was the pick up fuel line relocated to dual lines drilled into holes at both corners of the bottom of the tank if I remember right. That way the engine doesn't starve on hard cornering as the tank empties.


For those of you who don't know:


The stock fuel line doesn't work when cornering or upside down because it sits in the lowest part of the tank and doesn't move very much but it does however suck out the last drops.


Clunks works great for upside down but a single clunk cant suck out the bottom of the fuel because once it moves out of the low divet in the tank it doesn't want to go back on its own. And it still doesn't reach the corners when turning.


Any solutions?
 
I tried the Baja 5b/5t clunk and it didnt work for me. I still dogged in the corners and it left a small bit of fuel in the bottom because after I flip upside down it doesn't find its way back the half dollar sized divet in the lowest point of the tank.


I can live with an 1/2 oz of fuel left in the 1/2 dollar sized divet but I would really like to put dual clunks in it maybe one in each corner so it doesn't starve on those hard turns (or 5 minute donuts:D). I know someone on here did it cuz I saw pics.
 
to solve that a header tank like used in a heli. it is a small tank that is inline in the system. usually mounted where you can see it so it is the last thing to drain. it fills from the main tank basically. and when the header tank starts to empty, it's time fo fill up
