9.2.2 FUEL DRAINING
Fuel drainage should be carried out once a day before the first flight, and 10 minutes after
each and every refuelling of the tank. Fuel drainage should also be repeated if the
airplane was parked for more than three hours.
CAUTION
Before attempting any service or inspection on the airplane, check that the Magnetos and
Master Switch (key) are OFF.
Draining is accomplished by operating the cock located on
the gascolator in the lower engine compartment, just in front of the firewall frame.
Draining 80 to 100 cc (5-6 cubic inches) is considered sufficient to eliminate the water in
the tank. Use transparent container to drain into. If water is found in the drained fuel,
repeat fuel drain operation until the water is completely drained and any trace of water in
the fuel is completely eliminated.
Fuel drainage should be performed before moving the airplane from its parking place, to
avoid condensation or water present on tank bottom mixing and emulsifying with fuel,
making detection difficult.
9.3 SCHEDULED INSPECTION
If the airplane does not reach 100 flight hours within consecutive 12 months, a 100 hours
inspection must be carried out before renewal of its permit to fly.
If the airplane did not reach 200 flight hours within 24 months, a 200 hours inspection
must be carried out before renewal of its permit to fly.
