Fuel Tanks

Fuel is carried in two bladder style vented tanks (one in each wing). Fuel capacities
(total and useable fuel) are provided in Figure 1-3. Tank drains at the rear, inboard corner of
each tank are provided for fuel sampling.

Fuel Strainer
51.
A fuel strainer is installed in the engine compartment to filter out any remaining water or
contaminants from the fuel before it reaches the fuel injection system. The fuel strainer drain
valve is adjacent to the oil dip stick and is accessed through a door on the left side of the
engine cowling. During the pre-flight inspection, the strainer should be opened to drain for
approximate 4 seconds to clear any water or sediment.

Fuel Vent System

The left tank is fitted with a vent line incorporating a check valve which protrudes from
the bottom of the left wing near the strut attachment point. Venting of the right tank is
accomplished through an interconnecting vent line.
