Hi. Does anyone have experience with "flop tubes" in fuel tanks? Im looking for a way to decrease the potential for fuel starvation at a steep descent and low fuel and to increase useable storage in the fuel tanks.
Thanx Vic

I plan on using a collector tank, behind the seats in my 701. The 750 has less behind the seat and not in the cabin room then the 701 but surly there is room for 1 gallon or so someplace. The attached pic is from a kitfox.

This is what I plan on doing. I may use a level switch for the "oh shit"
level in the collector in stead of the sight tube?
