John and you know what causes that? a blocked breather tube. my aircraft had a cheap tube made from auto heater tube. trouble is it isnt fuel proof and had softened to the point of closing over with airloads. I replaced it with the proper tube and it is still in pristine condition 10 years later. ...for all of $20. lets hope it wasnt a dumb mistake that took someones life. Stealth Pilot
