correct as-is F-5 Fuel Transfer inop

[VZ_342]

Hi, discovered this over the past few times I tried cross-country in the F-5. Full internal fuel, take off get to altitude and after some distance (30 miles-ish) I notice the right tank still shows full, while left is decreasing. Flip the transfer switch to "right low" but after some more straight and level flying, the right tank still shows full while the left went down to half. 

 

This used to function properly about a month ago. Track file included. (Edit: transfer switch is thrown about 7:30 into the flight, by 10:00 it is clear that left is going down while right is not)

 

Thanks!

You need to switch to "LEFT LOW", because the left tank has less fuel, I.e. fuel state is lower.

Thank you! I've always perceived it to start out with "right low", probably because the R needle is lower than the left....but on that side of the gauge, "lower" means "more".
