My 701 had this set-up from day-one so I really can't comment on how bad or not the tank drain problem is. My VDO gages show differences between the two tanks; especially when flying frequently. If I understand the physics right I would assume that it would help. When it sits for a while I notice the tanks even out. My main reason for the set-up was to insure a constant fuel flow in all attitudes.

Lovely... do you find this reduces the issue of one tank emptying quicker than the other?
