Just some information in case anyone is interested: I did my tank internal inspection
on my trigear and had to remove all fuel. The unusable amount of fuel turns out to be
only 1.2 liters.I had expected this to be higher.
Cheers,
Karl

Hi Karl,

Just curious, how did you measure the unusable fuel? I can think think of
several ways, each leading to different results:
1) Assume you ran engine until fuel starvation from both sides of tank, then
a) removed tank bungs and collected remaining fuel including suction from
corners
b) suctioned fuel from above

Very simple, as I have an opening at the top of the tank. I pumped out 'all' fuel (with hose at engine driven pump disconnected) into a bucket. Then mopped up remaining fuel with a sponge
into a small container, then measured it.
