My kr2 is a tail dragger. When I do this test, I do it tail down with
only 1 gallon of fuel in the 12 gal header tank, my system is gravity
fed.

I know that my fuel system will deliver 15 gal/hr using only the last
gallon of fuel (worst case).

I have also noted that after that one gallon has run out and the fuel
system is dry, it then vapor locks (or something like that) because when
I put another gallon into the dry system the fuel will not flow until
after I open the fuel line at the carb and let the air out.  It takes 15
to 30 seconds before the fuel appears at the carb end of the hose. Has
any one else noticed this delay?  GPAS 2180 w/revmaster turbo setup,
revmaster carb under the engine. Gascolater low on engine side of
firewall.  This worries me because at times the fuel outlet in the
bottom of the aluminum tank is sure to suck some air when the fuel is
sloshing about when the supply is low.
