Recently got a 2.5 ounce GRW uniflow Tank for my next project. It did not come with any diagram showing the tubing configuration. It's a little different than other GRWs I've used. See pics. Can anyone tell me which tube is the uniflow tube, fuel feed tube?

Anyone know or got any idea? Thanks.

I would be tempted to email GRW and ask. Or pull the back off, and look. But my guess is that the single tube is the overflow, the bottom one on the wedge would be the pickup, and the top one on the wedge would be the uniflow vent. Figuring it's most likely useful on a profile, that would make sense to me. Steve

Hi Steve,

That makes sense. Guess I can just try it and see what happens. Do you have GRW's email address? Thanks.

You fuel it through the top one. That's your uniflow The one the comes out the bottom and is 90 degrees to the others...That's the VENT. SO the one that's in the middle engine feed.

Thanks, Scott,

You sound pretty confident. I think that's the same thing that Steve said. Two for two has got to be right! Thanks very much. John

You are correct on the setup for the tank. All GRW,s I have sold are vented the same way. Excellent tanks.
