Fuel tank

[Jerry Wilson]

I have just found a problem that I'm sure many people on the list have
solved before.  Often while doing a stall turn, my engine would stop and a
dead stick landing would follow.  After discussing this with a friend at the
field it was suggested that it could be a fuel tank problem.  So I took the
tank out tonight to have a look.  With fuel inside I could see that when the
tank was inverted as in a stall turn manouver as you go over the top,  the
clunk would often rest against the side of the tank.  So when the nose is
pointed down, the clunk could hang at the aft end of the tank but the fuel
is at the nose.

I've changed the length of the tubing (shorter and longer) and even added a
wheel collar to the line at the clunk, but so far I can't tell much
difference.

Any suggestions would be appreciated,

thanks,
Jerry
