Currently the fuel burn is registering high, resulting
in a fuel remaining reading lower than what I actually have in the tanks.
I hadn't made the connection between that and the GPH reading, but now I see
that they are inter-related. I usually don't fill the tanks to the brim
as I can carry 96 gallons total but I only fly about 100-150 miles round
trip. Why carry all that extra weight.
Mark;
I rarely fill my tanks either. I have a
calibrated dip stick I use to measure the fuel at one point; then keep track of
how much I add over a series of flights; then measure again. Then compare
actual measured with EM2 readout, and adjust the FFCAL as discussed in the
manual. I have found that difference between EM2 totalizer and measured is different
for a 4-5 hr flight than for a series of shorter flights, which I guess isn’t
too surprising, but it gets you close until you make those long flights.
96 gallons – wow, that should give you
quite a range.
