Fuel System - Magni Gyro M16C Ordinary Maintenance Manual

2.7 FUEL SYSTEM
The gyroplane's fuel system has been designed to meet the requirements of the British relevant requirement:
BCAR Section T (CAP 643).
Any modification or substitution of non‐original components may cause the system to no longer meet compliance
standards and is strictly forbidden.
Whenever replacing a component, it is vitally important to replace it with an identical one.
A fuel flow availability check must be carried out after any work has been carried out on the fuel system.
Each fuel pump and each filter must be capable of individually delivering at least 125% of the maximum fuel
consumption of the engine.
Fuel consumption data is available in ROTAX operator's manual, according to the installed engine.
The fuel tank is manufactured in glass fibre composite materials. Before installation, it is subjected to a pressure
test and to leak checks. Minor repairs may be carried out using standard composite repair techniques, but they
must be tested to make sure it still satisfies the requirements.
If contamination of the fuel system is suspected, then the entire system must first be emptied and then filled with
clean fuel. Furthermore, both filters must be replaced.
The schematic diagram of the fuel system is shown hereunder.
