Ooooh, I've missed you guys. LOL

  

 Thanks Brian, Walt, Pappy etc. for the wisdom on  uneven fuel flow and bladder tanks.  (Thanks also to Linedawg who  emailed.  He misses his Chang).  Walt, I did have my mechs take the  fuel system apart looking for plugs and have just started flying it  again since I got it back from the annual.  I won't see the fuel  levels until the gauges reach 60 litres, but so far no more "sucking" sounds  when I open the fuel caps.  We'll see.  I think that since I had the  extra capacity bladder tanks installed the fuel imbalance seems greater because  by the time the level reaches the fuel indicators, the imbalance actually IS  exacerbated.  I can't tell you how much fun I've been having with this  extrordinary airplane.  As to Dennis Savarese, I spent several days  freezing in my hanger here in SLC while he was good enough to help me through  his M14P engine course a year ago.  I'd thump my chest and snarl on his  behalf too, but my testosterone levels are a bit low today.  All I can say  is that I'm sorry for this Marines misplaced hostility on his friends behalf,  but he needs to recognize, as previously stated, that Dennis is not the  enemy.  Worst case scenario, he was a victim and caught in the middle as  well.  If anyone would agonize over middle-manning a deal  gone bad for a customer, it would be "Da Godfather of  the M14P".   To Semper Fi", read Sun Tsu's Art of War.  You  should be ashamed of yourself.  I'd bet my Black Belt on it (and you don't  want your butt kicked by a girl).

Thank you Val.  Your comments, like all the others, are  most definitely appreciated.

Do you have the tanks from Gill and Blackwell? If  so the vent inlet has one way check valve in it to maintain a very small  constant pressure created by ram air thru the vent system. I installed the tanks  in my CJ 3 four years ago with no problems.I reviewed the vent system verry  carefully an made some mod to the recomended procedures. I did not like the  manual valve suggestion and the mod I made eliminated the need for the valves.  Call me if you want to discuss. Cell 817 366 3150. 

 The CJ ( N39YK) these tanks are in is now for  sale.

Is there a reason for that? Seems to me that the system is under  

pressure when the aircraft is flying due to pickup of high pressure on  

the belly. Did they mention a reason for wanting to trap higher- 

pressure in the fuel system when the aircraft isn't flying? I am  

always wary of check valves as they have an annoying habit of  

occasionally sticking closed. This strikes me as an undesirable  

characteristic in the fuel vent system.
