NOTE
It is not recommended to fully tank the fuel tanks.
Due to fuel thermal expansion keep about
2.11U.S. gallons (8.0 litres) of free space in the
tank to prevent fuel bleed through the vents in the
wing
tips
thus
preventing
environmental
contamination. This should be adhered especially
when cold fuel from an underground tank is
tanked.
