Hi Finn,

You never cease to amaze me with your airplane!

Thanks (I think?)

Did you solve the problem of "bubbles" in the fuel line between the tank and the boost pump?  Do you have slosh in your tank? It's hard to imagine that you are sucking air in through a line leak unless there is blockage in the tank or your vent is not providing sufficient air pressure.

Actually the air bubbles are in the line between the pump and the carbs (after the pump)!
No slosh in the tank. Replaced the fuel filter. No joy. Need to check vent again. The odd part is that it gets worse when in climb attitude.
