Charley,
I'm sending you my article, from the LOBO newsletter, on fuel system calibration and testing. Might be time to run through this, especially if you are not the builder!

Subject: [LML] Fuel vol correction
I may have provided some bad info in the past. I stated that the fuel vol in my wing tanks was 37 gal per side; attributing the extra to the complete absence of speed brake provisions. However, I just got around to exhausting a fuel tank in flight, and refilled it with 34 gallons. Of the many possible variables, the one that seems most dubious is the accuracy of the 1/2 gallon measuring cup that was the basis for the original calibration. I"m still sorting through this one.
