NW_Pilot's Trans-Atlantic Flight -- All the scary details...
but it pumped gas into an overfull
tank causing the fuel to go overboard and read "more than full".
While the wing tank did lose fuel through its drain system, I believe
it stopped "reading" all together. Where did Mr. Rhine indicate in
his narrative, that it was "reading" more than full?
He didn't - that was speculation as to the cause later on. With the
fuel "more than full", the sensors would be reading "more than full" and
sending that info to the Garmin.
The Garmin went nuts.
OF course, cause and effect has not been determined, but it's a
reasonable starting point for Usenet quarterbacking.
