Stratus tank ok for non pumped engine?

[KenChoo]

Hi All,

I'm in the process of converting my Tempest 3D into a Stratus, and noticed that the tank is much lower on the Stratus setup. I'm running an OS91C-Spec without a pump, and wonder if having the carb. that much higher than the tank centerline would make a lot of difference?

Thanks!

The tank is really not any lower on the Stratus. Just the different configuration of the tank makes it appear that way. There really is no difference in how the fuel flows from a Tempest tank over a Stratus tank. The motor should run the same in the Stratus as it did in the Tempest.
