Well, their point is that, by changing from the setting you flew in on,
you may introduce the possibility of failure. Namely, if you fly in on
the left tank and take off on both, the water in the right tank may ruin
your day. Also, if the fuel selector malfunctions, you may be between
settings and have "neither". I am not familiar with the specific designs
of these valves, so this may not be an issue. Anyway, many of us dont't
have a "both" setting. So, that introduces other possible failures like
the tank you switched to is empty.

Thanks for pointing out the "both" setting. As I said, some of us don't
have one.

As I said, opinions on this one vary greatly.

Good luck
Mike

I take off on "both." If either one works, I have gas.
