Breguet 14.B2 fuel gauge Bug?

[JG4_Moltke1871]

Hi there…

The „Benzimeter“ fuel gauge in the Breguet seems limited to 130 Liters. If I fill more it’s not detected anymore. The indicator is from 0-240 Liters. In the settings I can fill 260 Liters if I remember right.

Is this a bug or have it a real technical background?

Many planes have more than one fuel tank and gauge measuring only the main tank (last to be emptied). Not sure about Breguet in particular.

Yes?. Maybe I explore one more time the cockpit for a tank selector. But for sure I only find one fuel gauge..? But two temperature gauges?

Maybe have two water circles? They have always same temperature so I don’t think it’s in and out…?

Even as a Kaisers player I really like this plane.

Can any Entente expert help me with this plane???

Entente "expert" Breguet flyer here. I can't say I've ever even bothered looking at the fuel gauge, too busy murdering Albies.

I thought Captain Darling was murdering Albies, you were supposed to keep track of fuel and get him home...

It has two radiators (IIRC with twin controls, one crank per cockpit side, mapped to same control in FC so in-game radiators are always balanced). 
In planes I ever bothered to check (Fokker D.VII, F.E.2.b), there is one fuel gauge connected to the last fuel tank. Secondary tank always empties first, then the main tank kicks in and the fuel gauge starts dropping.

Thank you a lot!! ??
Did you know how it worked? Was there an mechanic makes switch to the main Tank automatic? Or my Pilot avatar do it? How they did it in real? Was there any detection for the empty secondary tank?

Sorry for this questions ?

But I am very interested on the mechanics and how it works in the past ?
Further I will investigate Internet to find more details.

So far thanks a lot for answers here ?
