'''Measurement Procedures *'''<br />
<br />
1. The airframe was leveled at the canopy rails prior to draining fuel and throughout the filling procedure. No attempt was made to level the airframe from front to rear.<br />
<br />
2. All Fuel was drained from the wing by removing the under-wing quick drain. A small amount of fuel may have remained in the tank below the level of the quick drain. <br />
<br />
3. No effort was made to remove fuel from the fuel lines, wing root sump, fuel pumps, gauges, or carburetor.<br />
<br />
4. Fuel levels were measured to the nearest millimeter after carefully adding each gallon for a total of 26 gallons. <br />
<br />
5. Fuel level measurements were made with a fuel stick placed perpendicular to the ground (not at right angle to the bottom of the fuel tank) in the direct center of the fuel filler opening<br />
<br />
* Measurements were made in millimeters because they provide smaller gradations than the fractional inch scale.</div>Shortimer
