Whoops, sorry.  Must have missed the bit about negative G.

Can anyone tell me how the oil system keeps oil pumping and how the fuel is
sucked out of the tank at any angle in a fully aerobatic plane.  Fuel
injection will remove all the probelms associated with carbs, but I've never
understood how the oil and first part of the fuel system work.

Cheers,
Mark.
