The PAP page G4-1 requires that you add one gallon of fuel after flushing all fuel out and then pump this one gallon out in under 180 seconds (20 gal/hr).
I cannot come any where near this. Topically over 10 minutes. The last few oz takes forever.
I have removed the tank and opened the access cover. With a dental pick I have verified that the weep holes between the sump chamber and the aft chamber are open and clear of sealant. Also I have verified that the flow from the reservoir (Fwd right)chamber is OK.
The problem appears to be that the flow rate from the aft chamber to the sump chamber is inadequate to support the 180 sec time period. At this fuel level (head) it supports about a 6 gal/hour flow rate.
Of course the higher the flow rate between the aft chamber and the sump chamber the higher the flow backwards when climbing (bad).
Any suggestions.
