Default high wing fuel flow

was hanging around the fbo yesterday wasting his time with several other pilots and one mentioned that his wing tanks don't drain at the same rate [zenith]. they are plumbed together and i can't formulate a reason why this is so. one said the venting and another said the fuel lines. as both the vents and the fuel lines could accommodate a fuel flow several times more i can't see how they are a factor.
anyone have a theory?
