Wow, Alan!
Thanks for the post. I'm glad everything turned out okay for you. "Alan" wrote in message ... In my 10+ years of flying, I've set several personal minimums for myself. One of them is to never be in the air with much less than half tanks of fuel. My Skylane burns 11.5gph like clockwork and holds 65 gallons total in both wings, 55 gallons useable. I usually fly for about 2.5 or 3 hours and then fill up. I like the safety edge and besides, it prevents me from having to **** in a bottle! Admittedly, I'm the judgemental type who sneers at those stories of pilots running out of gas 5 minutes from their destination or having to put down in a corn field because they "thought" they had enough fuel to make it to the airport. Jeez, how could anyone be that stupid? WELL, ADD ME TO THE LIST! snip!
