There is no gauge for the reserve fuel tank in this aircraft, you should only use the reserve to take off and land and of course if all the other tanks are empty.cessna lover wrote: ↑27 May 2018, 06:53 I now this is an old thread. but It does relate to what I was going to ask about. and that is a reserve fuel tank gauge? I have looked all over the cockpit and at least in the model I fly on FSX there is no gauge for the reserve fuel tank. or is it in other models of the plane?

When there is only the reserve (the others are empty), in principle the fuel lamp should light up, which means that you only have the quantity of the reserve (I don't remember from memory how much fuel it contains).

I would add that the reserve tank is refilled during the flight via the main tanks. So when the wing and fuselage tanks are empty, you know exactly what you have left in the reserve. You can deduct the remaining flight time according to your consumption. That explains why there's no need for a gauge for the reserve tank.cessna lover wrote: ↑01 Jun 2019, 08:53oh ok thanks.DrumsArt wrote: ↑31 May 2019, 22:46There is no gauge for the reserve fuel tank in this aircraft, you should only use the reserve to take off and land and of course if all the other tanks are empty.cessna lover wrote: ↑27 May 2018, 06:53 I now this is an old thread. but It does relate to what I was going to ask about. and that is a reserve fuel tank gauge?
