(c) Filling Fuel Tanks
PA-28-181, ARCHER ill
Observe all required precautions for handling gasoline. Fill the
fuel tanks through the filler located on the forward slope of the wing.
Each wing holds a maximum of 25 U.S. gallons. When using less
than the standard 50 gallon capacity, fuel should be distributed equally
between each tank. There is approximately 17 gallons in the fuel tank
when fuel level is even with bottom of filler neck indicator ..
(d) Draining Fuel Strainer, Sumps and Lines
The fuel tank sumps and strainer should be drained daily prior
to the first flight and after refueling to avoid the accumulation of
contaminant's such as water or sediment. Each fuel tank is equipped
with an individual quick drain located at the lower inboard rear
corner of the tank. The fuel strainer is equipped with a quick drain
located on the front lower corner of the fire wall. Each of the fuel
tank sumps should be drained first Then the fuel strainer should be
drained twice, once with the fuel selector valve on each cank. Each
time fuel is drained, sufficient fuel should be allowed to !low to
ensure removal of contaminant's. This fuel should be collected in a
suitable container, examined for contaminant's, and then discarded.
I
CAUTION
I
When draining any amount of fuel, care should be
taken to ensure that no fire hazard exists before
starting the engine.
Each quick drain should be checked after closing
it to make sure it has closed completely and is not
leaking.
