OS160FX setup

[Karl G. Mueller]

Randy,

You don't pressurize the hopper tank. Pressure goes to the vent line 
main tank.
Pick up line from main tank goes to vent on hopper tank and pick up 
line from hopper tank to engine.

  Looks like too many choices for a non-mechanic like me.  But I am really tired of watching others fly in the contest, while I nurse my engine.  Or almost as bad, nursing my engine while I am flying the sequence.  I am looking for a very reliable, consistent setup.

  Having got that off my chest, I wonder if anyone has figured out how far back from the engine you can go with a bladder tank?  Seems to me that having a 18oz tank next to the firewall has to result in trim changes during the flight.

  How do you pressurize a hopper or header tank?   Is crankcase pressure too much if you are running a hopper tank.
