capacity cell. The filler neck in this installation contains a
visual measuring tab to permit partial filling of the tank.
Filling the tank until the fuel touches the bottom of the tab
indicates 27 gallons of usable fuel, and filling to the slot in
the tab indicates 32 gallons of usable fuel. The airplane
must be level for the tabs to indicate accurately.
FUEL DRAINS
Open the three snap-type fuel drains daily to purge any
water from the system. Each fuel cell drain is located on
the bottom of the wing just outboard of the fuselage. The
system low spot drain is at the bottom of the fuel selector
valve. The drain is accessible through a door in the
fuselage adjacent to the left wing.
FUEL STRAINERS
At each 50 hour inspection the strainer plug should be
removed from the fuel injection control valve and the fuel
injection control valve screen washed in fresh cleaning
solvent. After the strainer plug has been reinstalled and
safetied, the installation should be checked for leakage.
The strainer at the bottom of the fuel selector valve should
also be removed and cleaned with solvent every 100
hours. To reduce the possibility of contaminated fuel.
always cap any disconnected fuel lines or fittings.
Ordinarily the finger strainers in the fuel cell outlets
should not require cleaning unless there is a definite
indication of solid foreign material in the cells or the
airplane has been stored for an extended period.
