RE: fun w/ fuel lights
      
      Ok experts, I had my CJ out yesterday and since gas was getting low, I
      decided to (within sight of the airport) test my fuel low lights.
      
      Both tanks were at/below the posted 10-liter limit, yet only my R tank red
      lamp illuminated.
      L tank's lamp stayed out.
      Other than change the bulb (which didn't fix it), I've not yet done any
      trouble shooting.
      
      Is there a lot of fluctuation on sensitivity in these indicators?
      Is there a typical pitfall to check first? My first thought is - besides
      never let the fuel get so low - is to clean all connections/grounds.
      
      Just curious, I see my L lamp has a rotating shutter, which the R lamp
      apparently does not.  I presume this is by design for night ops?
      
      Btw, has anyone successfully run a CJ w/ one tank empty? I'd rather ask
      than try.
      Thanks all-
      
      Justin
