Thank you for the reply, Paul.
Our racing engines use a five stage drysump pump.
Four scavenge - to create negative pressure in sump,
and One pressure stage, belt driven.

I have never seen the inside of an aerobatic oil sump tank but
I can imagine how one would work with a pick up tube flopping
around in there. You need to talk to someone with a Pitts.
