Interesting about the C-182 feeding too much out of left wing:  Our local
CAP C-182Q does the same thing.  I've been writing it up and trying to get
the maintenance folks to replace the fuel selector as it is "obviously"
malfunctioning and passing fuel out of left tank even when I have the right
tank selected.  In Both, it feeds a lot more out of left tank than right.

Now I'm wondering if the fuel selector may be OK and we just have a crummy
"FAA Certified" fuel system that Cessna couldn't make to work correctly.

I would not excatly call it crummy. Probably the best system out there.
Never had any real problems and I have flown it in some pretty remote
areas of North America. On the other hand I have never flown it
completly
out of fuel to see what happens with the last few gallons.
