The airplane has single 13.2 US gal (50 L) polyamide fuel tank in the fuse-
lage, positioned behind the cabin. The maximum usable fuel quantity is 12.7
US gal or 76 lbs (34.5 kg or 48 L) (AVGAS or MOGAS, see chapter 2 - Lim-

sensor in the tank and indicated on the Engine Management System display.
Venting of the fuel tank is through a venting line connected to the bottom
of the fuselage. After leaving the tank the fuel goes through a line fuel filter
and throught the auxiliary electric pump (denominated BOOSTER PUMP on
the switch), located on the bottom-side of the fuselage behind the cabin.
