7.13 FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel is stored in two twenty-five gallon (24 gallons usable) fuel tanks, giving the airplane a total capacity
of fifty U.S. gallons (48 gallons usable). Each tank is equipped with a filler neck indicator tab to aid in deter-
mining fuel remaining when the tanks are not full. Usable capacity to the bottom of the indicator tab is 17
gallons. The tanks are secured to the leading edge of each wing with screws and nut plates. This allows removal
for service or inspection.
The fuel tank selector control (Figure 7-7) is located on the left side panel forward of the pilot’s seat.
The button on the selector cover must be depressed and held while the handle is moved to the OFF
position. The button releases automatically when the handle is moved back to the ON position.
An auxiliary electric fuel pump is provided in case of the failure of the engine driven pump. The
electric pump should be ON for all takeoffs and landings and when switching tanks. The fuel pump switch
is located in the switch panel above the throttle quadrant.
The fuel drains should be opened daily prior to first flight to check for water or sediment. Each tank
has an individual drain at the bottom, inboard rear corner.
A fuel strainer, located on the lower left front of the fire wall, has a drain which is accessible from
outside the nose section. The strainer should also be drained before the first flight of the day. Refer to
paragraph 8.21 for the complete fuel draining procedure.
Optional locking fuel caps are available for all fillers. A single key will fit fuel caps, cabin door and
baggage door compartments.
