Header tank needed?

[barrywest]

We have a Kitfox lll with the two wing tanks and a round header tank behind and level with the top of the seats. The header has inlets near the middle, a vent to the right wing at the top and an outlet to the engine at the bottom. The right wing tank wiil not feed to the left tank. If left overnight with a full right tank and an empty left tank none of the fuel will feed to the left tank. The right tank will feed to the header. Anybody have a way to solve this? We don't know if the engine will continue to get fuel in flight if the left tank is empty.

Did you check your fuel caps to see if they are venting properly? Try testing the transfer with the fuel caps removed.

welcome aboard berry . you can always put the tail up on a stand and pinch off the fuel hose from the right tank and check to see how the gas flow is from left tank at the gascolator drain .
