7.10 FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel Quantity Indication
Each fuel tank has a capacity probe that ascertains fuel quantity in that tank.
Standard Tank configurations have two fuel probes, one in each wing. Long
Range Tank configurations have four fuel probes, two in each wing, an
outboard tank and an inboard tank. When the fuel quantity indicator reads zero,
only unusable fuel remains in the tank. Usable capacity of each tank for the
Standard Tank configuration is 20 US gal (76 liters). Usable capacity of an
outboard and inboard tank for the Long Range Tank configuration is 24 US gal
(91 liters).
Fuel quantity :
Fuel quantity indicating for the Standard Tank configuration functions as
described in the DA 40 AFM. Also, refer to the ‘G1000 Pilot's Guide for the
Diamond DA 40’ for additional information about the functionality of the
G1000’s fuel quantity gauge.
For the Long Range Tank configuration, dual pointers on a linear scale, a top
pointer for the left fuel quantity and a bottom pointer for the right fuel quantity
indicate fuel quantity. The fuel quantity gauge is marked in five gallon
increments starting at zero to 25 US gal. The break in the green band between
16 and 19 US gal shows the un-gauged portion of the fuel tanks usable fuel.
When a fuel tank is completely full, the quantity pointer will indicate 24 US
gallons. As fuel is consumed from the tank, the pointer will move to the left.
Once there is no more measurable fuel in the outboard tank, the pointer migrates
over a 30 second period to the 16 US gal position. The pointer will remain at 16
US gallons while the un-gauged fuel quantity is consumed. Once the quantity
of fuel remaining in the inboard tank is less than 16 gallons, the pointer will
begin moving left towards zero. When either pointer enters the amber portion
of the scale, the pointer and the gauge title, ‘FUEL QTY GAL’, will turn amber.
When either pointer enters the red portion of the gauge, the pointer will turn red,
and the gauge title, ‘FUEL QTY GAL’, will turn red and flash continuously in
inverse video.
