Ag Flying - Air Tractor Fuel

Another quick question for those with AT experience.. the 402 specifically, the 502 would be the same as well i guess.

How low on fuel do you typically go to?.. With the 402, 200 litres is about 1.2 hours worth till exhaustion. However, any less than 200 litres makes me as nervous as a boogy boarder on a flight to Bali.

Ive heard stories of AT's starving of fuel with "heaps" left in one of the tanks?. Has anyone had experience with this? I have no intention of running down to less than 200 (180 to finish a load perhaps) Just curious.

Cheers.
