Coming home, just the reverse - serious headwinds, high RPM and
more fuel used than I expected. How would knowing a more
accurate fuel capacity help? To me it seems that knowing fuel
usage is more critical than fuel capacity.
Without a fuel flow gauge you can't know you're fuel usage unless you
know how much each tank holds. My 182 has 42 gallon bladder tanks. I
recently replaced my left tank with a brand new one. If I wouldn't
have run it dry I would never have known that it actually holds 44 gallons.
NB: I had planned on installing either JPI or EDI fuel flow meter
Avoid JPI like the plague.
