I am with Glenn.

 

I noticed that the vents in the caps are important. They slightly pressurize 
the tank system inflight. 

If only one cap has an open vent hole, the tank will be emptied but the 
resulting pressure differential could hinder the second tank to empty.

The fuel system on my coupe continues to give me heartburn. This time the left 
tank refused to fill the header so when the right tank finished its job the 
header tank started to go down. There was some tension in the cockpit as we 
watched this. I'm thinking a blockage in the line between the left and right 
tank prevented the transfer of fuel to the right tank and then to the header. 
The three fuel gauges were all set properly. Am I on the right track?
