Hi Larry Are the wing caps vented? One of my first coupes did that. After I was flying it pulled fuel out of the wings and pulled air and overflow from the header back down. But while on the ground especially after a fill up the cool gas would expand and create pressure in the wings. This killed the gravity return flow... Just a thought...
