Therefore, on these longer flights and only during level cruise, the pilot
should be using the Left/Right selector knob to even out this imbalance. I
find myself adjusting the selector knob once every thirty minutes or so.

Peter,

Is the procedure of only using one tank only applicable to certain
C172 year/models? I've flown a variety of 172's from late 60's models
to brand new 2002's, and have always used "both" tanks during
flight...just wondering...

Thanks,
Alex
