Tank capacity

(1/1)

Leonard Bourel:
Ok Guys I figured out my plumbing issues I now need 4 lines to my tank 1 fill 2 overflow 3 uniflow and 4 draw I am used to only using 3 lines having my uniflow serve also as my fill I still am trying to figure out tank capacity for Ro Jett 61 Thanks

I figured this out, thanks.

Jim Carter:
Hi Leonard!  Sir, now I'm more that certain guys far smarter than me will "chime" in with their opinions.  But based upon my ... my experience, I believe you only need three lines: 1. feed, 2. uniflow/vent, 3. overflow.  The uniflow/vent line serves a dual purpose and is ultimately capped off before starting your engine (assuming you are using exhaust pressure into the tank via the overflow tube.  Here is a couple of solid articles you may want to review: http://flyinglines.org/cognitive.uniflow.html  and  https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/questions-answers-154/3131525-uniflow-fuel-tank-set-up.html

Hope this helps!  ;D
