To the contrary.. ferry tanks are are NOT UNCOMMON and this is a
foreseable modification. This is something that should have been
contemplated.. if not by the manufacturer then by the ferry tank
installer/STC holder.
Bottom line is.. a faulty fuel gauge for whatever reason should never
ever cause your whole damn flight instrumentation and display to crash
and reboot. This is a simple, fundamental idea
