I've often heard of people manually selecting this tank or that in an effort to get maximum performance out of various planes.
Is there a point of reference for this information or is it a try different things until it works for you. I've always just used the auto switching feature and I'm curious what others do.

Alpo,
The two planes I know of where this is an issue are the P-51's and the Fw 190's.
In the P-51's, you want to use your Auxillary (Aux) tank before even the drop tanks. Fuel in the aux tank throws the plane off balance.
In the Fw's, I believe you want to use the aft tank first, which is the reverse order of their use. Not as sure of this as I can't fly a Fw to save my life. I keep trying, though!;)
