meatl clunk tank

[Bootlegger]

   Guy's I am building a metal clunk tank and want suggestions/ideas about how to vent it.
 I plan to make it uni flow and want ideas about where to put this vent line, as well as ideas about the vent line location.
 If y'all have other suggestions please say so...
    Thanks

Having the clunk tube flopping around I put the uni flow vent closer to the tank wall ( where the feed tube generally is ) and centered on the vertical wall and soldered to the tank wall. I put the end about half way into the tank to keep the clunk from fetching up on it. The clunk pick up tube can be installed in the center of the end cap or towards the outside wall (where the uni flow tube generally is ).

About four or five years ago I made a metal clunk tank because  my tank compartment needed a custom tank and inflow was not doing it for me.

I noticed that some folks route the pressure vent to the inboard side of the tank about a third of the way rearward ( about like I do on RC ships) ,so I set mine up that way . I loved it and converted all my ships  (ST60,ST46, OS FP, Fox 35 ) to that style tank and have been happy with the runs on all of them.

Now- a -days I fly mostly electric but the few classic and old time planes I still have with IC engines are set up with metal clunks
