Refueling
Rotax 912 engines are designed for automotive lead-free gasoline. Temporary limited use of AVGAS is
possible. See Rotax 912 UL, Rotax 912 ULS Operating manual for more details.
The aircraft has two fuel tanks, capacity 65L each.
There are two methods of refueling LEGEND aircraft.
Refueling from fuel station (dispenser)
Fuel station must be certified for aircraft refueling.
Always neutralize electric potentials of aircraft and station.
LEGEND aircraft has two grounding points for this purpose. One of them is copper grounding strip at landing
gear leg. The other is exhaust manifold, which is better suited for attachment of grounding clip of refueling
station.
Do not handle fuel tank before completing the grounding.
Open fuel cap and insert filling nozzle
into tank. It is not necessary to use strainer, as certified refueling stations always include it.
