Default Fuel selector question

If you ever get to a situation where you are worried about fuel, you
switch to one tank and start your watch, when that tank runs dry
(engine splutters) you will have a very good idea of how much flying
time you have left. This knowlege will enable you to decide if your
chosen alternate airfield is in reach or if you neeed to start your
precautionary landing procedures (looking for a paddock etc.)



If you're worried about fuel, you don't have enough.
