It also tells me not to run the electric pumps and the engine driven fuel pump at the same time or the engine will stop unless leaned.

So if we add up some off the advise about switching tanks in flight and putting the fuel pump on in my aircraft we are setting ourselves up for a plummet.
Not if you do what I said in my post.

With so many variations do we teach the common safe operating procedure which will keep you safe in all C172s or do we have the AD status checked on each aircraft hired by a PPL...........Oh and of course watch out for the old C172 that the Placard which requires the selection of L or R immediately in cruise above 5K has faded or has fallen off.

Even you admit that your POH approves the use of Left and Right positions.
