FUELING
SAFETY WARNINGS
* Never prepare fuel in an area that is enclosed or where fumes could reach ignition
point. DO NOT SMOKE or allow open flames or sparks in the vicinity. Never add fuel
while the engine is running.
* Never refuel an aircraft if fuel could be spilled on hot engine components (this
should not be a problem with the JABIRU due to the location of the fuel tanks and
fillers).
* Use only approved fuel containers and never transport fuel in an unsafe manner.
* Always check for fuel contamination. Contamination is a major cause of engine
failure. The best place to avoid contamination is at the source. Once your fuel is in
the container a very hazardous potential exists. Use a clean safety approved storage
container. Do not overfill the container - allow for expansion.
* The engine is designed for use with
aviation gasolines only
. Be sure to use
products of at least the standard shown in Section 1.
* Always earth the aircraft through the Earthing Points provided at the fuel fillers.
* Before first flight of the day, and after each refueling, use a sampler cup and drain
a small quantity of fuel from the fuel tank sump quick drain valves -check for water,
sediment and contamination.
