Ah ha - At first I didn't understand but after close inspection I see you
picked up on the sudden growth of my 2200. By the end of the week I hope it
will grow up to a 3300 and then I will have something to bragg about.

Why not tie the tail to a stand first (to level the plane) and do the test
on the ground first?

I haven't been on the list long so excuse. I really can't see how a vent
cross tube at the top of each tank could cause porting,,,which I assume you
mean what I'd call "unporting" or getting no fuel flow from the supply line,
at the bottom of each tank, to the header tank behind the seat. BUT if
you've been there and done that,,,,that's good enough for me. Bob U.

Yeah, I suppose that would work, Noel...heck, just shutting off the
tanks before starting the engine would allow for the header tank to
supply the engine during warmup thereby lowering the header level and
actuating the low fuel switch. Good suggestion...I wouldn't even have
to level the plane actually...I could just taxi around warming the
engine and it would run the vent system out pretty quickly. My low fuel
canister (a Murle Williams product) is located in the clear vent line,
and I could watch it lower to the point of setting off the float switch
as it ran...much safer.
