8.21 FUEL SYSTEM
(a)
Servicing Fuel System
At
every
50 hour inspection,
the fuel
screen
in the
strainer must be cleaned. The
fuel
strainer is
located
on
the
forward left lower
side of
the
fire wall. It is accessible by removing
the
lower
cowling. After cleaning, a small amount
of grease applied
to the
gasket will facilitate
reassembly.
(b)
Fuel Requirements
Aviation
grade
fuel
with a minimum
octane of 100/130 or 100LL must be used in
this
airplane. Since
the
use of lower grades can cause serious engine damage in a short period of
time,
the engine warranty is
invalidated by the use of lower octanes.
(c)
Filling Fuel Tanks
Observe
all safety precautions
required when handling gasoline. Fill
the
fuel
tanks through
the filler
located
on
the
forward slope of
the wing. Each
wing holds a maximum
of 38.5 U.S.
gallons. When using less
than the
standard 77 gallon capacity, fuel should be distributed equally
between each side.
(d)
Draining Fuel Strainer, Sumps and Lines
The fuel strainer,
located
on
the
lower left side of
the
fire wall, is provided with a quick
drain
which should be
drained
before
the
first flight of
the
day or after refueling,
to
check
for
fuel contamination. If contamination is found, fuel should be drained until
the contamination
stops. If contamination persists after draining fuel for a minute, contact a mechanic
to
check
the
fuel system.
Each fuel tank
is provided with a
fuel
quick
drain
to
check for contamination. Each
tank
should be checked for contamination in accordance with
the above procedure.
