Jonathan,

You might want to read this post for additional information. It sounds like you have the 50-gallon 'extended range' tanks, so you actually have 3 interconnected tanks in each wing. The middle tank doesn't have a fuel sensor in it, so the fuel gauge for each side has an area in the middle ...

I have tried to send a private message to you but they say they are sitting in my outbox... I'm not sure how that works on this message board but I don't see any way to get them out. Maybe they sit there until you see them? Yes, that is exactly what happens - they show in your Outbox until the ...

Congratulations John, and welcome to the forum! The best place for a prebuy in my opinion would be SouthTec at KRUQ, just northeast of Charlotte. Glen Lawler is the premier Diamond expert on this side of the country, and the go-to guy for other shops that need Diamond expertise. He did the pre-buy ...
