I taxi, run-up, and take-off on same tank, front as specified by manual.
Then change tanks at a height I’ll have time to notice change in engine note and switch back.
I had to do so after maintenance in 2016, returning immediately to land.
Try running your engine with fuel off. You may be surprised at how long it will run.
I dislike the fuel selector in the Rallye. It’s out of sight down below between left and right seats. Far worse is that you travel through “OFF” on the selector to switch between left and right. I feel a surge of anxiety with each switch, fearing that the ancient handle will break off in my hand while traveling through off.
And you have to switch regularly too. Uneven weight distribution shows up quickly in unwanted bank.
Never switch tanks after full power checks, I guess we all know that.
