FUEL SYSTEM MANAGEMENT:
Fuel is fed to the engine from the main (inboard) tanks and is controlled by the selector
valve on the left kick panel. Auxiliary (outboard) tanks feed their respective main tanks
via transfer pumps that are controlled by switches on the instrument panel. These
transfer pumps transfer fuel at a rate of 0.4 gallons per minute or approximately 45
minutes for a full auxiliary tank. Since overfilling a main tank from an auxiliary tank will
force excess fuel overboard, it is recommended that the transfer pumps not be activated
until their respective main tanks are slightly more than one quarter full. If the tank being
transferred to is feeding the engine, however, transfer can be initiated when the main
tank is down to approximately one half. Do not exceed more than ¾
fuel capacity of
main tank. Confirm fuel transfer by illumination of the transfer pump switch, an increase
in the respective main tank fuel gauge indicator, and a decrease on the respective auxil-
iary tank indicator.
