My c-65 in a Chief is using 100LL like crazy. On separate timed runs 8.4 and 8.3 GPH!!! First guess offered up is that the fuel pump is not bypassing back to the tank. Anybody else with a "this is what it is" ?EDGEFLY

fuel may be leaking/siphoning in flight and/or the carburetor may be malfunctioning.

What the plugs show. Are they black indicating they are being flooded ?. Is the primer locked ? If the plugs look good then you most likely jave a fuel leak.
