I second that! Happened to me twice (two different planes) in one week.



On this tank:

clunk jammed in that little budge all the way forward. I put some wire in the clunk tube to keep it rearward.



On the other tank, the pressure input tube (brass) curves up from the stopper. Somehow, the clunk tube got up over the top of brass tube and that held the clunk off the bottom of the tank.

happened on the next flight after a hard side-ways weed landing. (actually a crash that would have meant 6 days in the shop for a balsa plane).
