REFLECTOR: Fuel imbalance

[Grover McNair]

Sounds like the cap was not sealing well on the left side. Air flow over the
top of the wing may cause the pressure to drop if the cap does not seal
well. Check your vent system as well.

Subject: REFLECTOR: Fuel imbalance

Last Sunday I was flying back to Naples, FL from Augusta, GA in my SERG. I
took off with 25 a side. 

As I flew down the right tank was the only tank feeding fuel to the sump
tank. When I hit the VNAV point for Naples the right tank was at 6 gallons. 

When I stated to descend the left tank started to feed the sump tank and
actually transfer fuel to the right tank. 

Any ideas what could have been going on?
