TC - it would seem then that the fuel system on the 135 is not fit for purpose in the Police role since that involves a lot of slow speed/hover surveillance.

One of the solutions - the nod - seems to be counter-productive since it sends fuel away from the tanks that directly feed the engines.

Pragmatic solutions to get the job done but all to overcome poor engineering design.
