Subject: Re: Wing Fuel Imbalance Question

Mike,

For a 100 mile ferry flight, you should be using about 15 gal + 10  
spare or 25 gallons. Right? If the left tank is leaking, the 25  
gallons in the right tank will just balance your weight and the  
flight will be perfect.

Why would you even consider flying with one tank full when you only  
need 25 gallons?
