Steve 76: I'm not sure you want to "kick it out of balance" if your flying a 76 with allison engines; there have been numerous incidents where the oil skavenge pumps have cavitated and therefore been unable to return the oil to the reservoir ultimately causing the engines to run out of oil necessitating an emergency landing.
This has happened to 3 carriers in Canada including the one you fly for.
Got to run they've called my flight.
