DESCRIPTION
AND
OPERATING
DETAILS
The
following paragraphs
describe
the
systems
and
equipment
whose
function
and
operation
is not
obvious
when sitting
in
the
airplane.
This
section
also
covers
in
somewhat
greater
detail
some
of
the
items
listed
in
Check
List
form
in
Section
I
that
require
further
explanation.
FUEL SYSTEM.
Fuel is supplied
to the
engine from
two tanks,
one in
each
wing.
With
the
fuel selector
valve on "BOTH,
" the total
usable
fuel for
all flight
con-
ditions
is
38 gallons for
the
standard
tanks
and 48 gallons
for
the
optional
long
range
tanks.
Fuel
from each
wing
tank
flows by gravity
to
a selector
valve.
De-
pending
upon
the
setting
of
the
selector
valve,
fuel from
the
left,
right,
or both
tanks
flows
through
a
fuel
strainer
and carburetor
to the
engine
induction
system.
IMPORTANT
The
fuel selector
valve
should be
in
the
"BOTH" position
for
take-off,
climb,
landing,
and
maneuvers
that
involve
prolonged
slips or skids.
Operation
from either
"LEFT"
or
"RIGHT"
tank
is reserved
for cruising
flight.
NOTE
When
the
fuel selector
valve
handle
is
in
the
"BOTH"
position
in cruising
flight,
unequal
fuel flow from
each
tank
may
occur
if
the
wings are not
maintained
exactly
level.
Resulting
wing heaviness
can be alleviated
gradually
by
turning the
selector
valve
handle
to the
tank
in
the
"heavy"
wing.
For fuel system
servicing
information,
refer
to
Lubrication
and
Servicing
Procedures
in
Section V.
