Left-both-right or right- both -left depending on the hemisphere. Thanks David , Rob and Lynn. Makes quite a lot of sense . In aviation, they have both systems : 1- Left-both-right -off 2- Left-Right-Off. I have seen and met many pilots running out of gas and have an engine quit and force land with a full tank after forgetting to switch tanks with the second system . Now some planes are very sensitive to weight imbalance in the wing tanks and it makes sense to burn the fuel alternatively from one tank to the other but in a Carrier ? I would leave it on both and measure the tanks with the level stick once a day . Now what about the overflow can ? I know it goes under the crew seat in the rear compartment right behind the gunner’s seat because i read all the posts on the subject. But how is the can bolted down ? Anybody know the answer ? Many thanks . Cheers , Bob
