ALWAYS refuel after every flight, so that we always have full tanks.


It should be obvious that I wasn't suggesting that anyone overload their
aircraft.


If you refuel after each flight to *full* tanks, as suggested, chances
are you will be overload on the next flight unless you drain some fuel.
Maybe not if you're the only pilot who flyes the plane and you have a
certain loading pattern, but certainly in a club (or FBO) environment.

In our club, we *forbid* people to fill the tanks after a flight to more
than two thirds.

(I know it wasn't you who suggested it, but you confirmed the suggestion.)
