next time I see the fuel xfer anomaly I'll correlate it with the age of the filter. I had assumed that the fuel breather valve was clogged (who cleans that anyway) and that created a partial vacuum in the subtank hindering fuel flow under the right conditions
I'm not worried when remote tho'.
I've experienced the anomaly in the middle of the Simpson Desert and the Carson River Track. I carry enough spare fuel (ie 20l) to top up the main-tank and get back to civilization, plus a siphoning hose as another fallback. I can defer the rigmarole and cost of replacing the pump/venturi assembly at 150K to after 200k.
