Long Range Tanks?

[jimmuse]

Well, the mystery deepens.

I looked the plane over carefully, and came up with the following:

1. The filler necks are far out on the wing.

2. The fuel selectors indicate 74 gallons

and 3. The fuel guages show a max of 74 gallons.

Sounds like long range to me... but the previous owner swears it is only 93 gallons.

I looked the logs over and have found no mention of any changes, and ordered the original w&b and equipment list from Cessna (nominal fee 0f $57.00).

I will look the logs over again tonight and query the owner again.

I'll let you know what I find.

Always an adventure. My mechanic usually says "That's airplanes"
