Geday Mitch A low pressure area near the lower front canopy is often caused by the air flowing over and around the upper part. Is it possible the vent lies in this critical area and prop wash is causing the drop in pressure. Mark Langford has some wool streamers photos that clearly illustrate a flow reversal in this area. Don't fly until you have it sorted.

On rollout fuel started venting all over the canopy, lots of fuel. It has a forward facing vent on top of the header tank close to the canopy. The header tank guage showed about an inch from being full. The main fuel tank cap is not vented. There is a quarter turn shut off valve from the header to the main tank which seems to drain fuel from header to main. It didn't seem to matter which way it was set. Also didn't seem to matter whether the fuel pump was on or off. Any ideas on what is causing this?
