The problem is likely one of three things... You have some sort of mis-routing or restriction in the overflow line that
sends fuel to the wing tanks. There is supposed to be a flow restrictor on the outflow of the fuel pump. It is missing, so you have too much gas going to the header. Are your main tank caps vented? There are two styles, and I would suppose that if you are supposed to have vented caps (probably) and don't, then the overflow to the wing tanks will be inhibited. When flying, you're apparently using enough fuel that you're staying ahead of the problem. Greg At 11:28 AM 3/22/00 -0800, Larry wrote: >OK, here's one for ya.
