The thread on CJ-6 feed problems reminded me ....
The indicator (exteral wing mounted rotating gauge) on my left wing 'drains' much more quickly than the right one. After I land, and come back a couple of days later, the two indicators are balanced.
Ideas on the cause/remedy greatly appreciated!
Best to all!

The fuel junction flapper valves are probably stuck open and allowing the tanks to cross feed.

Hi Bill,
Mine does that all the time too. Except that some times the right drains
faster... Apparently the tanks are plumbed such that they can crossfeed
at the the point they make a common feed to the engine (which is located
at the drain valve behind the oil radiator...). I have the drawing
around here somewhere and will scan it and send it when I next get a few
minutes (which might not be until 2011 at the current rate...<VBG>).

Hi Guys!
My 55 does the same, I fix it by flying uncordinated on the side that needs to be cross fed for about a minute or 2.

Anyone have a spare gauge? I only have one on the left side and would like to add one on the right.
