Eliacim. I think you need to have two indicators. One for the interconnected main tanks and one for the header tank. The wing tanks count as one due to the interconnection and the header is the other tank you have. Your wing tanks should have an indicator somehow. Depending on serial number or later changes it is either on the left tank or the right one. It can be a round could gauge on the left tank protruding into the fuselage on the left side or the earlier style tube on the right side of the cabin. There are also some coupes that just have a float and wire on the left main tank.

One enough? ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Another question. Bear with me. VFR equipment requirements specify one fuel qty indicator for each tank (or some similar language). Now, my 415C only has a fuel qty indicator (wire and cork) in the main tank, not in the wing tanks. I think this should meet the requirements because the way the fuel system works. My concern is that I am preparing for my checkride and I don't want the examiner to reject the plane because it does not have a fuel qty indicator on each tank. 1. How do you people have your planes? Just an indicator on the main tank, or indicators on the 3 tanks? 2. Is my interpretation correct that having a single indicator in the main tank meets the purpose of the regulation? 3. Has anybody been on a checkride with a single tank indicator? Did the FAA examiner ever complain or comment about it?
