Huge props to whoever can help me figure this doozy out. I have a mid tank savage and I got a really weird fuel tank problem. I first tried a hobao fuel tank: https://www.ebay.com/itm/HoBao-8707...347360&hash=item2ce32d694a:g:QEMAAOSw74RdoidT
And I cannot get the thing to run no matter what I do. Engine floods immediately as soon as you start pulling it over. Take out plug, drain excess out, reassemble, engine fires a couple times then immediately floods again. And it floods BAD. It drains the tank right into the engine, pours out the exhaust. Tried a different engine, same thing.
Took fuel tank out and held it by hand and put fuel in it, and all the fuel immediately drains right out the tank out the fuel line. All of it, right down to the bottom of the tank. :O. Without any back pressure. Cannot figure it out, never seen this before and don't know how it does it since it seems to defy basic physics. So I figured oh well Ill just try a different kind of tank, and bought this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hobao-1-8-...610764&hash=item1cc26281db:g:C7YAAOSwDlRcAfNv
And what do you know, it does the SAME THING. How do the tanks do this? Is there a obvious reason I'm missing as to why the fuel completely drains out of the tank without any back pressure? Its impossible to get any engine you hook them up to to run. Any ideas are appreciated
