What techniques do folks use to "short fuel" a Seneca when you want to carry more pax and less gas?
Seneca III with 123 gal tanks. I do have a fuel totalizer (JPM 730, upgrading to 790 once I figure out how to make it fit), but other people also fly the plane, and while I trust them, I don't trust anyone that much.
The best I've been able to come up with so far is that I can fill it, run it until the outboards are empty, then slowly fuel it to determine where I am when those tanks just start getting wet to give me at least one intermediate "sight readable" fuel level.
Folks with the Cies senders - do you trust these enough to depend on them if they line up with your totalizer/fuel log?
