Dan: Yes, I remember, and that's why I first supposed the problem could be with the header tank vent. But then John told us that the original header cap with the exposed wire float vents through the same hole the wire passes through, so, I'm now thinking that the problem is not there.
Thank you very much for your answer.

Turned out to be a bug in the vent hole of the header tank. Check and make sure your vent hole is open.

As I wrote today in another mail, I am trying to find out what is happening with a friend´s coupe. Yesterday I took a photograph of the fuselage cap, and for what you explained, it should be OK. I attached the picture here just to show you how it looks.

This is your primary fuel supply. And yes, regardless of the cap, the header must be vented. If you have the original header cap with the exposed wire float the cap vents through the same hole the wire passes through. If you have the Skyport Rain-pruf gauge with the enclosed float there is a small hole in the leading edge of the fuel cap that connects to the inside of the cap.

And one more question just to see if I understood: The fuselage tank has always an air vent (in all models), no matter if a fuel gauge is present. Is that true ? Thank you very much !
