Please correct me if I'm wrong, but a flow gauge has no way of sensing
the amount of fuel actually in the tank, does it? So it has no way of
indicating a leak, which is the whole crux of the matter.
You keep talking about detecting a leak. Have you flown a comanche?
Do you consider the pa-24-260 to be unsafe because the fuel gauge
can only read one tank at a time? How often does a tank develop
a leak in flight?
How often does an oil leak develop in flight? Might as well do away with
the oil pressure guage by that reasoning.
Most in flight gas "leaks" in GA aircraft are from the filler cap not
being secure.
