porous nature of the float. =20

  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
