C182Q fuel selector. Is it all/nothing or variable?
I was flying cross country last week in a Cessna 182 that was showing uneven fuel burn in the tanks at a roughly 2:3 ratio left to right. (A known problem, by the way.) I wondered if if would be possible to put the selector slightly right of "both" and make it take more from the left than the right. I got out the POH and it appeared to say that the choice is "100% left", "100% right" or "50% left, 50% right" in spite of the fact that the selector itself can be placed at positions partway between settings. At 8000' in marginal VFR weather I wasn't willing to test my hypothesis that putting the lever off center would cause uneven fuel flow. Can someone add info on the actual operation of the fuel selector switch?
Thanks.
To the person commenting on me flying VFR at 8000, I was on an IFR flight plan. Note that I didn't say I was flying VFR, only that the weather was marginal VFR. There is a difference.
The 150/152, 172, 182 all tend to feed from the left wing faster because of the vent tube behind the strut on the left wing that provides positive pressure to the tank.
Selector detents are at Left, Right, Both, Off...
There are no intermediate positions. Trying to find one could leave you with a very quiet airplane. Since Murphy's law is still in effect, that event will likely occur either shortly after liftoff, or on about a quarter mile final..
