Crossfeed switch is set to "off". I fill all the tanks full, make a flight burning about 5 gallons from each tip tanks and 5 gal each from both main tanks. After I land and swtich off everything, step out of the plane and as the tail lowers, the left tank overflow tube leaks out about 5 gallons of fuel. Sorry, I am new to the plane and need to figure out what could be the problem. The only thing I didn't do that the manual says is to burn 10 gallons off of the left tank first. When I opened the fuel cap to the left tank, fuel started to well up, bubble up at the spout and flow over the wing. Can anyone point out as to what the exact problem might be and what do I need to fix? The POH supplement from Osborne also states that the excess fuel return from the engine fuel lines goes back to the left tank. What does the "cross feed" switch actually do and how does it operate? Trying to unerstand the systems in the plane new to me. There are definitely more knowledgeable people than I on here regarding bonanzas. That said I can tell you with the same tip tank on a big engine Navion I need to fly 1 hr before going direct to a tip. I can fly plus or minus 38 minutes on a tip before it’s out of fuel so I am pumping 6-7 gal hr back to the main. Anything less than an hour I will pump fuel overboard through the vent system. Just fly longer before going to the main and your problem will go away!

If you burn from tips first, the excess gets dumped out the port as there is no room in the left main to accept the return. I always burn 15 gallons from left main. Then right tip, left tip, back to left main and land on right main. You can cross feed, but I always find one tip going faster than the other so I don't.

A BT friend was showing off his plane to me recently, and I asked him about his tips. I believe he thought they were Osbornes. I opened that filler hatch, and lo and behold, there was a Brittain tag inside them!!! They were OEM Beechcraft tip tanks, supplied by Brittain, who was later acquired by Osborne (now GAMI, of course). For me, it was a fun, historic discovery! jh I concur. My 1960 Deb had these installed at the factory in 1962.
