While I was ground testing my motor setup, I used a six gallon plastic outboard motor tank.  It held enough fuel to run wide open for about one half hour.

My fuel pump was a little square "ticker" pump, that produced three psi.

One day I forgot to open the tank vent ( a little knob), I ran that tank dry, and collapsed the tank into the ugliest ball of plastic you have ever seen.  It was smaller than a basketball.

So the worry is, will my tank vent get plugged?   I have stainless steel screen over mine, to keep the bugs out, and point it into the airstream to help the fuel flow out of the tank. It doesn't need much air.
