Sounds like you have some inaccessible bays in your wing or wings.  Could be=
 you have more fuel in the wing but some can't get out or a bay could be plu=
gged totally and only have air.  Either way it's not good. Likely happens fr=
om too much Hysol at wing closure.  Can you get a scope to check the ports i=
nside the wing?  Would be good to have access to a fuel bouser to pump fuel i=
nto and later pump it back in 5 gallons at a time to re calibrate once you g=
et things figured out and ports cleaned out if needed.

Good luck,
John Barrett
