[C320-list] Fuel Supply and Fuel Gauge--two questions

[DONALD DIXON]

Agree with 0.5 gal per hour BUT, living in a hot environment I would not routinely let the tank run down that low.  I fill it with 5 gal when it gets down to 3/4 full.  This leaves less available volume for water vapor in the tank, less chance of bio growth, filter fouling, etc.

Regards,

Don Dixon

My experience is captured here...

0.5 gph is a good average, slightly higher when doing a lot of motoring.
