Here is another one via Google Translate:

"N718SK, an MHI RH Aviation CRJ-700 operated by SkyWest Airlines as SKW9898,
was on a flight under instrument flight rules from the international airport of
Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau International, QC (CYUL) to Chicago O'Hare, US
(KORD). Immediately after takeoff, the message R MAIN/SCAV Ejector Caution is
appeared on the Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) and
the crew noted that fuel was being transferred from the left tank to the right one. During
climb en route, at 15,000 feet and approximately 32 nm west of CYUL, the message from
fuel imbalance appeared and the flight crew declared an emergency due to
a fuel imbalance issue and requested a return to CYUL. The crew followed
the emergency checklist (QRH) and the imbalance seemed to come from the system
automatic fuel transfer. At the beginning of the descent, the imbalance remained stable
to about 1200 pounds and reduced at lower altitudes. The crew had no problem
control or performance and the aircraft landed safely at 18:13z with the services of
rescue and firefighting aircraft (SLIA) on alert. There were no injuries."
