From a lifelong history of managing fuel inventory, we use a standard method that has served us very well (now that everything works).
* Run on the main tank until it indicates half.
* Change to the Auxiliary (that will start at about half) and run it until the low fuel light comes on.
* Change back to the main and run it until the next planned fuel stop.
Part of this idea is to try to keep above the 1/4 on the main so there is fuel for the APU (genset) in case it is needed.
Another part of this thinking is that as the main fills first when fueling, we can count on getting new fuel in both tanks.
How many of you have been riding a motorcycle and reached down to change to the reserve only to find out that you left the fuel cock in the reserve position after you last filled the tank?? (I am not going to ask for a show of hands....)
