REFLECTOR: Uneven fuel draw

[hoffman3 at erols.com]

Uneven fuel draw is cause by leaking fuel caps.
Air flow over the caps that leak in flight causes a difference in pressure
between the tanks.
Just use valseline on cap O-rings.

Subject: REFLECTOR: Uneven fuel draw


I am having a very uneven fuel draw in my XL.  My right tank draws 
substantially faster than my left.  I understand others have had this
problem.  I can 
transfer fuel with pumps.  I would like to know if anyone has been able to
do 
something to get the fuel to draw more evenly?
