This would be reason #1 for why I set up my fuel system on my KR to gravity feed from the header tank only. I transfer fuel from the wings to the header so I always pull the wing tanks down until the pumps cavitate and use all the fuel out of them without ever starving the engine for fuel.
In the low wing Pipers, if I run a tank dry, I watch for the fuel pressure to start dropping off. When the fuel pressure starts to fluctuate, I switch tanks without the engine ever missing a beat. -Jeff On Mon, 27 Dec 2004 17:40:01 +0200 "Stephen Jacobs" <ask...@microlink.zm> writes: > +++++++++++++++++++ > > After reading the AvWeb article years ago, I took to doing exactly > this > on my PA32.
