Hi everyone, Anyone out there know the approxâ€™ volume of the 2 saddle  areas

 in the std Europa 62 litre polypropylene tank .  That is,- when the  fuel is down

 to the bridge area. I am trying to understand & calibrate my fuel  useage & reserve.

      Thanks    Paul Munford    Europa NG kit 625

I measured mine while reviewing the calibration of the sight gauge and approximated it at about 9 to 10 litres per saddle while sat on the ground with no turbulence.



In the air could be much less especially if been bounced around or doing unbalanced turns.

I measured mine at very close to 10 litres and that should hold good in the air in roughly level flight as the return line empties into the reserve side keeping it constantly topped up in spite of turbulence. At least it should do, if you have got your plumbing right - ref the directive and other info relating to the GBYSA disaster last year.

Thanks for such a speedy reply to my query !

 Just to be sure, is that 9-10 litres for each side ?

 or total for both sides?

 Sorry to be a nuisance but I want to be sure.

  

 Thanks again     Paul Munford    Europa  NG kit 625

Paul, yes 10 litres each side, but  of course one side forms part of the main tank and your fuel gauge is likely to not read empty until you have finished the 10 litres in that side's saddle tank. Regards, David Joyce, GXSDJ
