Steve,

No, I didn't mean drain (fuel dump) the tanks. Although that's something that maybe you could think about for aircraft that don't have fuel dumping capabilities.

Rather than refer to the 'Inboard' and 'Outboard' tanks, can you not label them with the conventional 'Wing' and 'Centre' fuel tanks.

Because aircraft have different tank configurations, IF must treat them all generically.

Version [rd] never leaves the tanks completely dry. 1.5% is included in each "empty" tank; using inboard or outboard fuel distribution. (settable)

Remember, Even Fuel Distribution is the most reliable; with some aircraft, certain engines may not run.
