Ernie,
I was wondering if that would work, but I guessed that with the daisy chain of tanks that you'd have to be closer to 60 gallons/tank to see any fuel in the last outboard tank of a 148-gallon 337. It's nice to know that it's a relatively small amount. Do you have the 74 gallons-a-side tanks, or do you have the smaller tanks?
How critical is the level ground fore and aft? I'm fairly certain I can reliably park the plane so it's level side to side. My refueling site at my home base isn't level - it's very close, but I can tell you the plane comes out of the hangar a lot easier than it goes in.
Jim
