Dipsticks and Fuel Tank
Hi

i'm trying to do some calculations, about the fuel tank capacity , but needing some help (not near R22 now )

QUESTION 1: both tanks (main and aux) are connected together, so the level of fuel, in each tank will always be the same (U tube hydrostatics example) - when the AUX go empty (less capacity, and higher end) the MAIN still have the quantity of fuel given by the difference between MAIN-AUX capacity ???

QUESTION 2: (if Q1 = true) it's possible to know the quantity of fuel in both tanks (total), only by knowing the amount of fuel in the MAIN - not total accurate - dipstick use


regarding the dipsticks (R22 or R44), can anyone post a picture, please?

thanks

regards
