He is very much happier to have a nicely calibrated fuel gauge and a simple on/off fuel valve. How low are you willing to run any single tank? For me, the answer is about 15 litres. Less that that, and Im getting nervous. With (effectively) 2 tanks, I dont know how to decide at what point to change the feed side; so end up not using either leg of the tank.

There is no need. All you need to to get acupuncture fuel tank contents is MGL fule computer y ou don=99t have to connect to gps or a flow meter.

First fill the reserve side if the tank first. 9 Lt. in reserve 5 X 11 Lts Total 64 Lts. Tank full The fuel computer now will display accurate fuel contents in 1 x 1 Lts inter vals Job dun.
