If you haven't checked your flow from your fuel system, take the line =
loose going into the mechanical fuel pump and verify that you have good =
gravity flow through your systems - at least 20-30 gallons per hour. If =
you have good flow, then I suggest you start trouble shooting the level =
sensor in the sump tank. What kind of sensor is it?

Subject: REFLECTOR:Sump Tank Low Level Light Problems
I have been trying to get in the air for the past several weeks, but =
keep getting a low level light on my sump tank. I have checked the =
wiring, and blew our my vent line from the sump tank to no avail.
I taxi out and during the runup checks, the light will come on. So I =
taxi back to the hanger - and the only way I can get the light to go out =
is to hit the sump tank good and hard. I have gas in both wings and =
they seem to be feeding evenly.
Has anybody experienced a similar problem?
Ralph
