If your clunk got slammed into the front of your tank and is stuck
there OR if you have a hole in your clunk line right next to the stopper
the plane would run great on the ground with a full tank, and the tank
would pass a pressure test no problem.  However, in either case as soon
as you burned off some fuel or raised the nose of the airplane for
more than a few seconds the engine would suck air and quit.
