[NSRCA-discussion] Header Tank Question????

 I use the foam clunk in the main tank because the fuel sloshes quit a bit and bubbles do appear in the main when filling. The hopper tank never empties so the level never changes and I use a straight tube in the hopper straight to the back of the hopper. Never had a problem.
I am shrinking another 33 oz coke bottle to change out the heavy tank system in the Aggressor which is the hopper arrangement.   4.6 oz versus 2.2 oz for the coke bottle.

  Larry I would think that you should use the foam clunk in the tank that directly feeds the engine. The main tank feeds the feeder tank so it will be of limited use there

    I’m looking at using a 4oz header tank to increase my flight time. Currently I have a 16oz tank in a Focus w/ a 140DZ. I can get through the Intermediate Sequence and a couple additional maneuvers, but then I’m almost dry. There isn’t enough room under the wing tube to install a 20oz tank, so a header tank seems like the only option. Unless someone knows of a header tank with a maximum height the same or less than a Dubro 16oz…

     

    Question: Do I use a regular clunk in the header tank and the foam clunk in the main tank for the YS 140DZ?
