'''Measurement Procedures *'''

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.

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. 

3.  No effort was made to remove fuel from the fuel lines, wing root sump, fuel pumps, gauges, or carburetor.

4.  Fuel levels were measured to the nearest millimeter after carefully adding each gallon for a total of 26 gallons. 

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

* Measurements were made in millimeters because they provide smaller gradations than the fractional inch scale.
