It would be difficult for this to be the case, as you're constantly getting more fuel or air from the wing tanks. I don't think the header tank could ever develop a vacuum.

At the time I had the type of cap on the header that had the wire protrude thru the top of the cap. I noticed when I got in this position I got some fuel out of the cap at the time it was sputtering I lowered the nose and everything back to normal. I tried this several times with same results. I changed to the cap with the plastic tube with the sight gauge in it and no more problems. I can only guess that the cork or and fuel was blocking the vent and stopped the fuel flow.

I spent a month with a mechanic in an attempt to duplicate the problem at will in order to know exactly how to rectify the problem. If there is any interest in this anomaly, I will be more than happy to discuss it. Just let me know. It is rather long also. Wayne! Please share with us what you found!
