Me410 Fuel Indicator

[ITAF_Civetta]

Hi all...

I'd like to talk about fuel indicator in ME410. I read the ingame information but I could not find any specification about it.

It has 4 selector: I suppose 2 fuselage tanks and 2 wings tanks, but I can't understand the meaning of two gratuated scales into it. Outer one reaches 6 (I think 600 liters) and inner one reaches 3,7 (370 liters). Which one indicates the wing tanks and which one indicates fuselage tanks? And then: which tanks is used first? 

 

Thanks in advance for your aswer.

In my opinion the 410 has 4 wing tanks, there is no space in fuselage for fuel tanks remaining. About the gauge reading I will have a look, maybe I will find something.....

The two scales are for the 2 main tanks (forward in the wing) represented in the upper scale and the 2 reserve tanks (rear in the wing) represented in the lower scale.  This coming from the 110 books, so they may be the same. 

 

In the 110, fuel is used from the main forward tanks only.  As fuel is drained from the main tank it is then transferred from the rear tanks to the front tanks.  If you take enough fuel, when fuel is transferred, the white light will come on to indicate fuel is being transferred from the rear tanks to the front.  I have not flown the 410 enough to see if the same happens.

 

Edit:  Just did a quick test in the 410.  If you take enough fuel to have fuel in the rear tanks, it takes the fuel from the rear tanks first.
