So on my last two trips I've run into an issue where my right main tank fuel flow starts dropping with ~12 gallons left, and engine starting to cough with 9 on the tank. After talking to my AP after the first time, I tried the electric fuel pump at first sign of an issue. The flow picks up a little, but not what it should be. Eventually it still gets low enough I switch tanks.

Thoughts?
