Rich,
If I learned anything at the Jacksonville Fly-In is was that there are
TWO different kinds of wing tanks.
9 gallon versions have built in GAUGES.
7.7 or really 7.5 gallon version tanks do not!
There are two different header tanks as well.
The SOLDERED version is 5 gallons.
The RIVETED version is 6 gallons.
Until then, I THOUGHT I had a 24 gallon system.
Now I REALLY do have a 20 gallon setup.
Good thing I didn't ever fly a 20+ gallon flight!
Since this is all new to me, hopefully I have not made a mistake.
Surely I will hear about it if not true.......
Happy landings,
Bob Urban
