Ross,
I'm sure that others with much more Kitfox experience than I have will chime in, but I believe that it is normal more often than not. All of the various forces involved when flying, including gravity, are factors. I think also, if you look at the fuel system, that the length of fuel line between the wing tanks and the header tank is longer from the left tank than from the right one. You may also have more turns or bends on the left one. This can result in a slightly greater pressure drop through that line. Anyway, that's one reason why I decided to add shut-off valves on those lines - to manage fuel flow, especially on long cross country trips. Additionally, if the airplane is parked on a surface that isn't level, fuel will flow from the higher tank to the lower one. In that case a valve can be shut off to prevent that. With those valves, I intend to make them an ALWAYS check before flight item.
