Note that all fuel and oil hoses in the engine bay are covered in fireproof sleeve, and the
engine face of the firewall and fuel tanks is covered in fireproof cladding. These must not be
removed.
As a check of the coolant level the filler cap (1) of the expansion/storage vessel (2) can be
opened, but only with a cold engine. When doing so put a finger over the vent hole in the
overflow bottle to stop it draining back into the system.
REMARK
Since the exhaust and its attachment are exposed to high loads by temperature and thermal
expansion, these should be frequently checked.
6.7 FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system is under the rear seat and has a capacity of 39 ltr in the left tank, and 36 ltrs
in the right. The tank is ventilated by a ventilation line above the tanks to the rear of the mast.
Tank level control is via sight lines on the side of the engine cowlings, a fuel gauge on the
instrument panel, and a low fuel warning light. Unusable fuel is the last 600ml per tank, and
marked as zero contents. Low fuel warning will light at approx 5ltrs remaining.
