Does anybody know in a typical Grady installation with Yam 250s and a split bars fuel gauge, which side refers to which fuel tank?

Thanks, FH

Thank you! Hopefully it is the same on a 305 Express...? No reason why it shouldn't be, and in time I'll be able to confirm it... Thanks again...

Thank you again. The next time will be the first time for me! Very helpful to have an idea what's going on!

the bars on the left are the main or forward tank. the bars on the right are the aux. or rear tank. The main front tank is slightly larger.

Thank you, too, wspitler! I now can confirm what you say, although I try to avoid the use of the terms "main" and "auxiliary" tanks . I prefer fwd and aft which are much more descriptive in identifying which tank you are talking about!
It appears on your posting you have T300s? Any comments? I have T-250s and look yearningly at 300s!
Thanks,

It was a great upgrade! Glad I upgraded as I get better efficiency and higher speeds. Had over 1000 hours on my 250s though. They were bulletproof as well as the 300s are supposed to be.
