Due to a new Steve’s Aircraft gascolator, my sump drain had to be rotated 90 degrees and is now facing forward and down about 45 degrees below the horizontal. Before it was facing left and down about 30 degrees below the horizontal.

Is there any chance that ram air can force open a Curtis valve? This is the type with the two stems on the side. I have not flown it yet as it is still finishing up the annual.
