Did a number of unsuccessful forum searches --- need an assist, please.
Preparing for a first engine start, and have SkyView, Dynon EMS, and Vans resistance level sensors. Need to calibrate the fuel levels on the first fill-up, and looking for general information on procedures people have found useful for a First Fill of NEW tanks, while Calibrating Instruments for Level Sensors.
Questions such as;
1) Working with FBO Avgas folks to incrementally add, or pre-filling a bunch of 5 gal cans to self-service?
2) Filling one tank incrementally either way, and then draining (in 5 gal increments) to transfer same fuel to opposite wing tank?
3) Not wanting to run amuck with airport admin (strictly regulated hangar rules) and once tanks are filled/used don't want to be re-classified as a 'non-builder' during the completion of the airplane.
4) Anticipating the fuel load and distribution of fuel for a First Flight? (Don't think 38 gals is the way to start.)
Other considerations?
Any previous threads would be appreciated but new comments welcome.
Thanks
