In either an R182 (1979) or 182Q (1980) (I cannot recall in which I did
this test), switching to the most full tank doesn't have the effect one
hopes. It still seems to draw more from the "wrong" tank (although in fact
it's probably drawing from the selected tank with fuel moving through the
interconnect to replace the drawn fuel).

The CPA tech note only refers to pre-1979 models. This may be of great
value to the OP and his 1974 182, but many of us are apparently
experiencing at least similar problems in models of 1979 and beyond.
