Georgie:
<br>Presumably you've pressure tested the system, and it will hold 7-8
lbs. for a long period of time? And, looked for bubbles in the line
when the tank is about 1/4 full?
<br>Sort of basic stuff, I know, but I've been bit by simple stuff like
pinholes in the line, etc. Had one awhile back that would only seep
when covered with fuel even under pressure, but pressure it with air instead
of fuel, and the system would go flat on me. That was a tough one;
I had to pump it to almost 15 lbs. to find the pinhole.
<br>BTW: Gary Harris and I sure enjoyed your photos. Thanks!

<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Although it seems highly unlikely with
a pressurized fuel system, I've seen a couple of examples of similar performance
with unpressurized systems that turned out to be fuel foaming. Seems that
when held on the ground things were damped enough to prevent the foaming,
but in the air the system was free to resonate. Just maybe a solid mounted
engine on a profile fuse can foam even a pressurized system.</font></font>
