REFLECTOR: FUEL FEED & Vents--blinking warning

[John Dibble]

Sometimes my light comes on at high altitude.  Sometimes it stays on for
up to an hour.  Sometimes during that hour it will occasionally blink
"off".  Sometimes it just blinks on occasionally.  Sometimes it doesn't
come on for several months.  It never comes on when I am at low
altitude.  I'm thinking of re-labeling it as a warning that O2 is
needed.
