Hi guys, on my 66 Cherokee 140 I recently noticed that a near empty fuel tank had apparently taken on the majority of the fuel I put in the other tank. I’m assuming it gravity fed to that tank with it being slightly lower on the strut on that side. I believe this happened with the fuel selector in the 6’ o clock position splitting the difference between the two off locations. Should I have placed the fuel selector in line with the line marked off or does this sound like I need to replace or overhaul my fuel selector valve?
