Hi!
Just got out from the annual and all vents have been blowed on the fuel system.
Despite it, randomly my MetCo tip tanks on my Aztec E 1974 are not feeding completely. Could be the right or the left. I found since a long time than the left would drain faster the OUT bladder than the tip and the reverse for the ring wing. Also, I’ve had to run the engine out of fuel a few time because the right or the left MetCo tip tank would not feed (with at least 10 gallons still inside). For one case I’ve been able to run on the tip a few minutes later...
I thought of vent issue but my mechanics says they are all working well. Would it be related to the fuel cap? (but I think they share not vented...)
Please help it is bad not to know when the engine will be burping...
Regards!
