190A/F fuel tank bug?
« on: June 24, 2004, 05:49:12 PM »
I haven't tested it with a stopwatch, but after a few flights in the 190A/F series I am beginning to believe that the aft fuel tank and the main fuel tank are switched, capacity-wise.   Or maybe just the gauges are switched.

the tank order has changed, aft burns 1st now bt request.

It goes

AUX (A-8 F-8)
AFT
FWD

If you take 75% the the 25% is taken from  the aft instead of being distributred through all tanks.

OK, this time I used a stopwatch.  Time to burn 1/8th tank at WEP, 190A5:

aft:  255 seconds
fwd: 215 seconds
