Username Protected wrote: Those fuel selector numbers got my attention; check the AD's and see if those numbers should be 75 , and 37.5,37.5. By all means, check, but I think my 182 K was also 79 and 39/39.
The AD reduced the usable fuel in 2 gallons per side. The placard must be 75 and 37/37 in all the long range rubber fuel tanks. Here is an image of the corrected placard. There are many 182 still flying with the wrong placards. Not a problem until caught.

Dave That's a good upgrade to get. I had them install it in both my C182 & C172 but I thought that offer ended two years ago. Doug

When I bought my plane it had a Knots ASI as primary, but by serial number my plane was suppose to be MPH ASI, later 75's in knots. Because the previous owner had changed all the speeds in the POH from MPH to knots, I ordered a new POH from Cessna and it had the revised fuel capacity numbers in it. I also installed a new ASI in MPH.

Check the alignment of the cable end fitting and the clevis (on the seat). The Cessna kit for my 205 results in a misalignment of ~0.25” that results in cable failure where it is swage’d into the cable end fitting.
The cable failed from work hardening after ~75 flights. I filed a SDR and contacted Cessna - Zero interest from Cessna re: their design misalignment

I filed a SDR and contacted Cessna - Zero interest from Cessna re: their design misalignment So not only did Cessna build a poor seat rail and seat that necessitated a secondary system they then screwed that up too? In my 182 we have little clamp thingy that goes on one seat rail.
