Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes, though in my case, no fuel is flowing from the left tank, and as the OP states, there is no visible tank selection knob or lever in the cockpit.
In addition, the fuel gauges on both wings do not appear to show any fuel being consumed.
Note: This is using the default variant of the Savage Cub. I have not tested other variants.

I’m having the same problem and I’m really frustrated. It seems they ported the system of the FS2020 Zlin Cub, but with a different 3D model maybe (no fuel tank selector) and just shipped. No in-depth testing at all. So annoying.

There’s also some other mishaps that shows that they weren’t paying attention to details at all.

The “fuel amount indicator plates” on each side of the wings are mirrored, and not just that, both sides say fuel in Liters, which I’m quite sure were supposed to have different units.

I really hope they put some more attention to this plane. Cubs are the best.

• I have the same issue, no fuel provided from left tank and no visible tank selector. Is there any new about resolution? it’s pretty annoying…

Same here, hoping for an SU3 change to the plane. The plane draws from the right until empty and there’s no way to switch tanks in the cockpit.

I kludged it by adding fuel to the active tank in the efb and removing the same amount from the other tank to be less “cheaty” but it’s hardly immersive.
