Partialling fueling 148 gallon tanks in later models

Hi all,

Is there an easy way to *accurately* partially fuel a late model 337 with long range (148 gal) tanks?

If I understand right, the early models with aux tanks have 4 tanks and 4 fillers - and fuel management issues aside, you can choose not to add fuel to some of the tanks and arrive at an accurate partial fuel load. Many Pipers have metal tabs attached to the filler necks of long range tanks that allow you to stop filling when you reach a particular level.

Does any such option exist for the P337s with 148 gallon tanks?

Thanks,

Jim

* One option, of course, is to use a fuel totalizer and give the fueler (no self-serve at my home base) specific instructions. But errors accumulate over time, and I have heard of a lineman making a mistake once or twice in the past.
