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 respec-
tive main tanks via transfer pumps that are controlled by switches on the instru-
ment 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 recom-
mended 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 ap-
proximately one half. Confirm fuel transfer by illumination of the transfer pump
switch, an increase in the respective main tank fuel gauge indicator, and a de-
crease on the respective auxiliary tank indicator.
