Craig. If your turn is balanced relative big G should still be at right angles to your tank, the fuel levels should behave identically to when the tanks are levelnow in a side slip that's when your ports will uncover...take care in side slips close to the ground.

I spent a lot of time fretting over that very same issue, but the KR's differential aileron controls help ensure that the ball will be either perfectly centered or very close to it during just about all regimes of normal flight except takeoff and slips and that sort of thing. In the 1130 hours I put on N56ML, I only heard the engine starve for fuel once, and that's when I deliberately starved it just to see how long it would take to restart (and that was at 5000', probably). And there was a comment about why Cessnas don't have a problem with that. It's pretty clear that if you have two tall stand pipes that terminate in Y or a T at the carburetor at the bottom, you can leave them both unported at the top...as long as there's fuel standing in at least one of the pipes, the carb will get fuel.

KR> Fuel tank discussion and extra tanks for sale
Hi there http://www.kr2seafury.com/11.html I have posted a few pictures of my stub wing tanks that I cut from 2 Cessna 150 tanks, ?I am using the back half for my 7 gallon stub wing tanks and will sell off the front half. ?The original tanks had no baffles and 1 pickup on the inboard side. ?I am going to add a baffle around the new pickup point.? The 150 only had an on off valve and equal line lengths to the tanks so it should feed equally. ?I wonder why only one pickup as my PA22 has 1 front and 1 rear inboard. ?Also when in a turn wouldn't the low wing tank be sucking air? I am going to sell the front half of these tanks. ?I calculated them to be ~7 gal each. ?$75 each + $25 shipping. ? Email me if interested. L=14", W=21", D=6" Craig
