I am inquiring for the first time over this listing.  I have a Lancair IV P
that was built using the Neico fuel selector valve provided with purchase of
the kit.  I have discovered that at altitude (>FL120), under pressurized
cabin conditions, that if I switch tanks using it I suffer a temporary
engine stall that can last for a few seconds.  We have tried various
.
.
When flying my C340, I can never get the locker tanks to feed at altitude unless I have run them on the ground. We may be having the same problem.

Try running both tanks for at least a couple of minutes on the ground before the flight. This works for me.

Let us know what happens.
