Sure. I would hope we've all done it, but not because anybody made me do it...just did it because it was the smart thing to do. Mine was something like 38 gph flow, although the Corvair only needs about 9.5 gph at max flow (rich). The "minimum fuel" issue might be a bit sticky though. I located my fuel pickup so it was about midway between minimum flight angle and cruise angle of attack, because I figured I'd be slowing down to best economy speed if I thought I was that low on fuel. But 14 degrees isn't exactly the most efficient angle of attack for that configuration, although it is the angle you'd be landing at, but you should "have it made" on the runway before you get to that angle of attack.
