October 8, 1996, a Lancair IP crashed at Camarillo , CA after loss of power
with a fuel selector modified to include a both position. NTSB investigation
determined that the plane was being operated with fuel in the left tank and
no fuel in the right tank. The modified fuel selector spindle allowed air
from the right tank to bypass the internal o ring and enter the fuel stream
causing a lean condtion. Futher information can be found on the NTSB web site.
