Anyone have a issue fuel selector valve not switching from LH to RH tanks even when the selector is on that tank. So whether the selector is on LH RH it still pulls on RH tank.
I looked under dash the red selector handle moves a shaft to the valve that is mounted up near the firewall,. The switch and shaft are moving the valve. I will be calling Tecnam tomorrow .

Bumping this to see what happened.
Did you ever hear back from Tecnam for figure out what was going on with this?
I've never been inside one of the valves they use on these planes and the IPC is pretty terrible when it comes down to small parts like this valve. Is this in a 2010?

Hi Uncle Fish,
Thats a real new one! Please let us know what Tecnam says? You may also want to contact the manufacturer of the valve and get they’re 2 cents worth ……..they may offer some helpful trouble shooting
to help you……

Well come to find out the return is plumbed back to LH tank. So if I fill it up I need to use the LH tank first. So on the RH tank if I run it for 1 hour it will raise the LH tank about 3/4 of inch on the stick

What serial number is your plane?
I own #085 and it’s plumbed to return fuel the the tank selected.
If your plane is plumbed that way it should say so in the operating manual.

Actually my friends serial number is 129. It definitely returns fuel to the tank selected. Both my plane and his are 914 powered. Could that be the difference?

My serial number 112 is a 912ULS. So maybe that's the difference.
