OK, talked to my guy. He had several suggestions. One is to drain it
all dry and then blow some air (carefully!) into the right tank and
see if you can hear it coming across into the left tank by listening
at the filler cap.
Possible problems he came up with were a crushed or swollen fuel line
downstream of where you tested previously, or, he thought more
likely, incorrect placement of the little plastic fuel vent deflector
and/or the location of the fuel vent itself. There are specs for the
location of these if you look in the manuals. But for the fact that
the fuel doesn't migrate when parked, I would have said this is
definitely your problem For instance, Cessnas with bent or
incorrectly positioned vents are chronically out of balance.
