Lixma 06 Posted January 24, 2024 Posted January 24, 2024 I don't think the drop tank is carrying any fuel, or maybe the Anton is unable to access it. Here I start a mission with tank fitted. According to procedure I switch fuel selector to AFT to draw from the drop tank. I switch the fuel gauge selector to AFT to monitor levels. What is supposed to happen is when the AFT tank's gauge needle hits 240 litres it will 'freeze' there until the drop tank is empty. When the needle starts to move again you know the drop tank is exhausted. This works with the Dora, but with the Anton the rear fuel gauge behaves as if no tank is attached - it simply drops smoothly from full to empty. A-8 drop tank 2.trk
Solution saburo_cz Posted January 24, 2024 Solution Posted January 24, 2024 (edited) It seems that you did not switch On fuel pump C/B for external fuel tank, E16.

Lixma 06 Posted January 24, 2024 Author Posted January 24, 2024 (edited) Ahhh...thanks Saburo - it was an air-start so didn't occur to me to even check the breakers. Edited January 24, 2024 by Lixma 06
