Thanks to all who replied either in ras or by email.
No 'mechanical or electrical' intervention happened before this problem manifested itself, so I think we're left with looking at a fuel line blockage somewhere that results in such a degree of negative pressure that fuel is still drawn from the left tank even thought the right is selected. I'd still be gratefull if any Xiamango operators out there could get in touch Colin At 20:00 13 February 2005, Colin Hamilton wrote: Whilst flying we observed that whilst having the right hand tank selected, the left hand fuel gauge seemed to be going down. Initially this led us to think that we must be leaking fuel from the left hand tank and we'd be ok because we had the right hand tank selected. After flying for a bit longer we observed that, despite having the right hand tank selected the right hand fuel gauge was not descending. Fortunately we stopped flying just in time before the left hand tank run dry. Any Ximango operators had similar experiences? |
