[quote] I did the same as Dan, what type of gas caps do you have? I changed to the caps with pitot tube on them and that has pretty much eliminated any imbalance. The valve is great to prevent cross feeding from one tank to another when you are parked on a slope.

After ~150 hours of flying I am changing my fuel system from the
factory plans. The problem\hassel of fuel sloshing and un-even feeding
in flight has been too much.

What I am proposing \ doing is to have to quick drains on "T" pipes
where the factory gascolator is. From there each line would move
forward into the cabin and have it's own fuel filter.

The fuel filters will then feed into a Left\Right\Both selector. From
the selector the fuel would go to a "real" gascolator and then finally
into the engine.

I simply installed valves on each fuel line as it enters the cabin above

my head.  Since the right tank feeds first on my airplane, that is the
only valve I need to control during flight.  Works great for me.
