C172 Fuel

I'm a part owner of an early (1959) Cessna 172. I have recently experienced some strange fuel balance issues with this A/C not experienced on the many newer models i've flown (M's N's and P's). Does anyone out there fly a similar aircraft and experiance regular fuel imbalance and tank cross feed issues with both tanks selected. (We now normally only use Left and right tank unless T/O and landing etc). We have only recently owned this A/C and although the engineers are happy, it would be good to hear from any of you out there. The A/C is supposed to be the oldest 172 on the UK register, and therefore it is difficult to talk to other owners of this model. (was the design the the fuel system modified later on?)

Any ideas, knowledge, experiences, suggestions welcome.
