In short, if you have in possession G.91 or G.91 mods flight manual and/or can tell me if this a/c could or could not perform 'edge-knife' maneuver w/out problems with fuel tanks drainage, I'd be very obliged.

Good ol' 15-20 sec straight and level edge-knife and not "cross-over in a step turn" as described at #10 here when fuel in tanks squeezed to drain holes by gravity when going out of turn.

The same question was asked in the German Flugzeugforum and as an answer, this video was posted :

But it seems just to be edge-knife flying for no more, than 10 s (at around 50s in the video).
Someone, who actually flew the "Gina" posted from the manual: "It is not advisable to prolong
inverted flight for more than 20 sec, since fuel proportioner would run dry and could be damaged.
"
