Greetings, I have had a problem with fuel siphoning from my right fuel vent
since new(3 years) . It is only on the right side, only when full, and
stops after I have flown the 1st 1/2 hour off that side. I'm sure some of
it might be that I'm not perfectly coordinated, but even when I pay real
close attention to the ball I get intermittent flow in even the lightest
turbulence.During the test period I even went as far as putting a 90 degree
turn tube directly into in air flow.---No better. My vent tube is per
design with a 45 degree cut facing forward, and I fly a 320. If anyone has
had any experience with a problem like this ,I sure would like to know the
solution. Sincerely, Fred N9BF
