The DC-3 is equipped with 2 main tanks and two auxiliary tanks. As in reality, the two auxiliary tanks are not connected to the main tanks. So if you run out of fuel in the main you can switch to the auxiliary tanks with the fuel selector located on the pedestal. You can see the amount of fuel remaining in each tank with fuel gauge and a switch located next to co-pilot. | |||
