Percy, I generally fill the tanks myself. This gives you the opportunity to check the accuracy of the totalizer by comparing the USED value of the totalizer against the amt actually put in the tank. In fact that is how you set the "K" factor for your installation. You do not have to simply indicate FULL. You can instead enter the actual gallons put in the plane and they will be added to the REMAINING value. I don't do this often because it doesn't cross check, but it is handy on occasion when you don't want to fill the airplane because of gross weight considerations. One of the reasons I like the JPI unit is the dual LED readouts. It reads gph on the top display and steps through all readings on the bottom at the same time. I just sold an EI unit on Ebay that I took out of the salvage Viking I am parting out. Anybody want to put a 300 hp Continental in their 'coupe???
