----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- The first thing to do when you see your wire gauge heading down is to change rpm. I once got pucker factor from a resonant vibration that was vibrating my gauge down and it popped back up when the vibration frequency changed. If that doesn't immediately get the gauge back to normal, it's time to head for a quick, safe landing and get it checked out. Just before sending my Coupe down for its annual inspection (and sale), the nose tank was empty from winter leakage. It took exactly 3 gallons to get the gauge to move and the gauge travel was the top 3 gallons in my tank. It's nice to know.

As some of you know, I had my coupe reworked and restored over the past year and I am getting acquainted with it again. Last night I went for a ride and while cruising along the header tank gauge started to sink into the cowling. I rolled the airplane left and right to no avail. The tanks were 2/3 full before t/o. So I headed back for my strip and made a nice landing, of course, and as I taxied to a stop the header tank gauge started to reappear. Now just before T/O the header tank started to fill completely up until I started the T/O run. Do I have gremlins or has someone out there had a similar experience? I'll try another flight ASAP and let you know the outcome. All new fuel lines and a new header tank along with a new fuel pump. You don't think the new pump might be malfunctioning?
