References: In-Reply-To: Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I flight tested useable fuel in my Legacy. Left tank ran down to 0.4 gallons, and right tank down to 0.1 gallons before engine stopped making noise, Fuel totalizer readings were verified when I filled back up. Flight was in smooth air, coordinated flight. Now my question is what to do with these numbers. How low should I let a tank get before takeoff? landing? cruise flight before switching tanks? etc.

101.2 hours
or about 20,000 miles (for those who like to compare airplanes to cars)

about 2 gallons per side
