I went to a distance airport to get fuel today. I showed about 2.5 gallons in my right tank. I have Vans gauges. I flew for approximately 25 minutes on this. About 10 minutes of the 25 was flown after the gauge showed zero. The motor continued to run for about 10 seconds after the fuel pressure gauge went to zero. It took another 5-8 seconds to regain power after it ran out. I had the power at 2300 rpm. Fix pitch. When I filled it up it took 19.26 galon. I did my testing with 5000 feet agl. I thought I would pass this info on for anyone interested. Some day I will test the left tank.
Ps the fuel price was 3.69 at AWG today.
