Al, that was probably standing still in front of your hangar.  In the air there’s going to be some sloshing away from your tank pickups –especially when climbing or descending – which are really lousy times to lose fuel pressure!

Don’t worry; I’ll never fly with just 2 gallons in each tank; at least not deliberately.  The point of course was that all the fuel will drain from the mains to the sump at an ample rate.
