There are two types, one without the external actuator lever and one with. -The guts inside are the same on both. -They are not adjustable. However, you can take them apart and clean them and usually get a little more life from the things. -I did that and managed to get another two years out of one, but eventually had to replace it. You can take the guts out of one without the external lever and put them into one WITH the external lever if you want to.

We suffer the same problem with both aircraft, re even fuel feed. Flying in turbulence seems to help the problem, but still air is bad news. The left tank will feed untill almost empty leaving plenty of fuel in the right tank and on my mates 18, the low fuel warning light on the left tank lit up and was fortunate enough to be close to a small country strip where he landed in a hurry. He has teed both vents into one. This has not helped. I moved the left tank vent and re located the vent to about 3/4 of a inch next to the right tank vent thinking that it may be the vortex from the prop that is allowing the right tank to feed. Or rather stopping the left tank to feed. I have changed the angle of the vent pipe facing the airflow to try and perhaps get more air into the vent to assist the left tank to feed more. This has only marginally helped. I landed on Saturday with the left tank low fuel warning light coming on on finals. The right tank had 65 - 70 litres fuel remaining and about 12 in the left when dipped. We have removed and carefully checked the check valves. No problem there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and cheers, Chris.

Typically the RH tank is late and I know of at least one forced landing with a full RH and empty LH. Believe this was in South Africa about 6 or 7 years ago. The CJ6 has a single point vent system which I don't believe is the problem. However the effective length of the vent line and the fuel feed line are both longer for the RH tank. Theoretically that could induce a lag in the RH feed time but I don't belive it is signifigant. Any blockage of the vent by insect nests etc. will definitaly cause a big problem. Other than the bugs that leaves the feed tank check valves as the only remaining source. SPEAKING FOR THE CJ6 ONLY (since I have no knowledge of the check valves in any of the Yak models) I believe I have solved that problem with a modification to the check valve which, IMHO, was very poorly designed. If you have the opportunity to take photos of one of your check valves and email to me I will try to determine if the mod is applicable.

Every now and then we blow compressed air thru the vent. At no time have we ever found a blocked air vent. My mate also fitted new fuel cap seals. Did not solve the problem. The check valves are a simple flapper valve that prevents any X flow and I cannot see how they can be a problem. I am not familiar with the check valves on a CJ6 Thanks and cheers, Chris.
