Gentlemen:

Has anyone tested the new fuel valves?   I have heard unconfirmed reports
that they still have problems with cross feeding air if one tank is dry and
you are burning from the remaining tank.

I also heard that the "new" valve had been sent out for testing by the NTSB
following the recent crash in FL. so maybe that will shed some light on
things.

Also, if independant testing has not been performed, how would one go about
verifying that the sealing properties of the valve are ample to ensure fuel
and not air gets into the system?

Dave
