Pete;
What year is your CJ? If 1980 or later it could have the factory modified
flapper valves .

I had "problems" with asymmetrical fuel flow on my stock CJ. Until, that is,
I got a level tie-down. The problem was that no matter what, starting with
an asymmetrical fuel level always lead to asymmetrical fuel all the way
through the flight regardless of how carefully I filled to "level" it on the
ground before I set off.
Never had more than 1/2 a gallon fuel imbalance the rest of the time I flew
the plane from the level tie down. I also forward cut the left vent tube as
per Craig and all the local guys. That always helps.
Nanchang CJ-6s = 50+ years operating just they way they roll off the factory
floor with no issues.

Mine's a 1966...with that dead flat tie-down, every time I got back to the plane
the tanks were perfectly level and they'd stay that way all through flight (at
least 2 hour flights which was the maximum I could do with the plane).
The other thing is that I spent a lot of time trimming the tabs so that at cruise
speed, it was nearly hands-off. I also watch the ball frequently to be sure
I'm not putting extra pressure on one foot (which is a normal tendency).

Pete, I agree with you 100%. Most of the time it IS a pilot-induced
problem. But Walt is right too: there have been occasional problems with
the flapper valves. My fix for that is to violently yaw the airplane.
BTW, you can fly 3.5 hour legs in a CJ6A with stock (42gal) fuel and legal
reserves if you are careful. I have done several cross-the-US trips when I
had mine (flying) and the ability to reduce the number of total hops
reduces the total time to cross the country even though you may be flying
at a lower true airspeed. A fuel stop consumes a lot of your potential
flying time. Oh, and it costs less too. :-)
