RE: Running a turbine at full power non stop? Damaging?
Thanks very much Rob. Yes the tanks are super close on mine as well. P100 it is for me and I think I might do the series plumbing as well. It will save some connections and I really am aiming for the KISS theory with this jet.

What if one used a graduated container marked with ounces, ( or whatever) with a measured amount of fuel in it, run turbine for one minute at 100%, and then measure what you have left oppose to what you started with.
A narrow range is what one should look for, not an exact number.

There is always the hands on approach of fill it up and fly for five minutes, land and see what you have left. Adjust your timer accordingly
.
Might be too simple and I'm missing something but works for me. I do a lot of mixed flying, so I maintain a known reserve of fuel at full power for landings and go arounds.
