Maybe it's as simple as it sounds, but....maybe not. I'm new at this.
New EFIS, and the fuel tank calibration is TU. The constant "check fuel" warnings are annoying. I need to re-calibrate the tanks, looks like in two-gallon increments. Additionally, I want empty tanks so I can get a new weight/balance. AND...two of my three Saf-Air Cav 110 drains have the drips and got minor squawks from my AP/IA on my recent CI.
My plan....fly the tanks as empty as I dare, then remove the gascolator drain and empty the tanks into a couple of 5-gallon cans. Do the w/b, install new Saf-Air drains, then refill the tanks two gallons at a time each and re-calibrate.
Tips? Tricks? I want to be efficient, but mostly don't want to screw this up.
