I don't agree with the idea of teaching full tanks all the time.

What happens when the person wants to take a full passenger load (plus some bags)? Very few aircraft can take full fuel + full payload.

Far better to teach fuel management - which includes planning & in-flight situations that don't have fuel fuel available.

I feel this is particularly important in the outback where the opportunity to go with a fuel fuel load may not be available.
