The perfect skymaster
I note your transition year is ‘74.
Yes The fuel system does get simpler after 73. Like a huge Cessna 172, vs 4 tanks earlier. Interestingly, in the turbo C and D models When using aux tanks the excess (unused) fuel* Goes back to the “manifold” Right back to the engine! NOT to the aux or mains. So no guesswork! When you have used 15 gals from aux you have used 15 gals from aux And no mystery fuel added to mains Or overboard. *I believe fuel pumps must deliver 150 % of max fuel engines might require. For Engines that might use 20 gph, fuel system must deliver 30 gph So at lower power lots of “excess” fuel from pumps Has to go somewhere. Also, Having seen it up close at potomac. I no longer desire the later model split door Very “tunnel” like in person. I have always liked and used my cargo door often.
