CHAPTER 28 - FUEL
28-10-00 Storage
The fuel tanks are located under the rear seat and have a
capacity of 34 litres each. In standard version only one tank
is installed on the left hand side. As an option an additional
tank with the same capacity may be fitted on the right hand
side. The tanks are made from PE plastic and feature a
ventilation line that is routed above the tank to the rear of
the mast.
A drain valve is available in the bottom aft area of each tank
that accepts a standard drain tool with pin to open the valve.
In case of two fuel tanks installed, a crossover line connects
both to ensure equal level. In order to top-off tanks it is
recommended to fill both tanks sequentially as the cross-
over flow rate is limited.
