Completed RH Tank calibration of fuel levels - see June 24 entry. Then I raised nose until plane was at 11 degree pitch up attitude. Performed another Flow Test, from LH Tank with minimal fuel (about 12 gallons). Not surprised same results as Level attitude test. LH Tank: 24 gph at 16.3 psi stabilized (as I varied back pressure during test flow varied from 36 gph at 0.5 psi to approx 17 gph at 25 psi...all matching prior tests).
