[NO BUG] Fuel imbalance

[Mike Busutil]

I have noticed during long missions there is a fuel imbalance between my left and right tanks. I believe I got a "R fuel low" warning light on the caution panel that got my attention. This has happened multiple times to me and I am not sure if it's something I am doing or if its a bug. The image below shows 1800 L and 900 R.

 

 

After noticing this I have verified the FEED switch is set to NORM and the cover is down and I have also verified the WING/EXT TRANS switch is set to AUTO.

 

In order to correct this imbalance I switch the WING/EXT TRANS switch to "ORIDE", which corrects this issue after some time (pending I have fuel remaining in the drop tanks) The largest imbalance I have had so far has been 1100 in the left and 100 in the right.

 

I would assume having the WING/EXT TRANS switch set to AUTO would keep the fuel balance even.

 

Additionally I can confirm there was no air frame damage each time this has occurred.

 

Thoughts on this?

 

Thanks for any info.

Thank you, we will take a closer look.

 

 

EDIT: just confirmed, it is no bug, it is because the tanks hold a different amount of fuel.

Great, thanks.

Happens often while maneuvering with AB - normal behavior.
