I'm hoping someone might have some ideas on an odd issue that I just noticed on a '77 F model Aztec. Here's the situation in a nutshell. Prior to a flight last week, I had all four tanks topped (I have the extended range option). I flew about an hour on the inboard tanks, none on the outboard. After the flight, I put the plane in the hangar. Three days later, I found fuel leaking at a fairly good rate out of the inboard tank vents on both wings. Looking in the fuel tanks, I found the outboard tanks down a few inches, and the inboard tanks full to the caps. At day six this was still happening. Looking at the schematics, I don't see how this could be happening.

Anyone seen something similar before? Any thoughts on possible causes and solutions?

Thanks!

Matt
