Hi! Paul.
Since it is best to ensure the reserve side is allways full it is on the
"filler" or starboard side. However a point to remember is that if you
happen to put any water or dirty fuel in it is most likely to all settle in
there, rather than "jump" the tunnel ! (that would be just great should you
have needed to switch to reserve only to pick up water !) So it is
imperative to do a substantial water drain check on the STARBOARD side. Also
occassionally switch to the reserve side when established in the cruise
after filling to prove the supply.
