Hello Coupers! My name is Bill and I am new to the airplane. My
friend Ron just purchased one and I ferried it home and have been
helping shine it up and checking him out in it. When I flew it home we
topped both mains and the header was approx 3/4 full. Shortly after
takeoff I noticed fuel venting from the left tank at the gasket. We
replaced the gaskets, filled the left tank only and flew with no
leaks/venting. The right tank was empty. Today we flew and topped both
wing tanks and we had venting from the left tank again. A possible
related factor is that for the second time the left tank only took 3
gals leaving 6 that did not feed to the header. Once we noticed the
venting we landed and checked both tanks and they were equal in
quantity. Any info will be greatly appreciated. We are having fun
with the little bird although being a tail-dragger guy, I feel as if I
had a stroke not having rudder pedals.
Thanks,
Bill
