A more experienced pilot who had studied the aux tank system may have
been able to mentally diagnose the cause of the fuel venting.

He did everything by the book, but the book was wrong. A pilot is not
supposed to assume that an FAA approved book is wrong! In fact, I'm
scared of pilots who establish their own ad hoc procedures because they
think they know better than the book.
