Accurate fuel flow
Just a question I need some advice on.
I learned a very valuable lesson yesterday when I re-fueled my 148 US GAL tanks. Calculations showed that prior to fill-up I had only 6 GAL left in the tanks, but the gauges showed "1/2 full". So, even the preceived belief that these needles will at least show when it is empty, is false.
I need to get a much more accurate read on the true status of my residual fuel volume. I have an EDM-800 in my 172, and it works great. I know JPI makes similar units for twins, and will investigate this, but are there any other options?
