To answer your specific question: I have not experienced similar and have switched tanks both above 10k with low boost on and below 10k with low boost off. I do not have loops in my fuel lines at the wing/fuse junction because I brought them in via the aft stub spar. They are also 1/2 inch, the boost pump in on the floor just behind the NG tunnel and the rest is pretty standard. I will be on my toes as I approach 110 hours, or venture near Texas. paul ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. -------------------------------1181856097 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
