I'm in the final throws of getting ready for a final inspection on my PietenpolAircamper. 10 gal tank in the wing center, above. and 14 gals in a fwd "nose"tank. The plan is, when the fwd tank gets low, open a ball valve and transferto the fwd tank. My AP mentor tells me that my plate isn't good enough with information. Has totell not to transfer from the top tank till the nose tank is low enough, so I'mnot wearing fuel with an overfull fwd tank.the question is,,,,,how can I say that on the plate with the least words, that'sacceptible?thankswaltNX140DL________________________________________________________________________________

It would also depend on what kind of fuel gauge you have for the fwd tank.If it is the wire and cork float sticking out of the fuel cap, you mighthave to put some mark on the rod indicating where 1/3 full is. Or you couldsay, don't transfer fuel til 3" or less of indicator rod is showing.chris bobka-----Original Message-----
