BEECHCRAFT
Debonair33
The electric auxiliary fuel pump is controlled by an ON-OFF
toggle switch on the control console. lt provides pressure
for starting and emergency operation. lmmediately after
starting, the auxiliary fuel pump can be used to purge the
system of vapor caused by an extremely high ambient
temperature or a start with the engine hot. The auxiliary
fuel pump provides for near maximum engine performance
should the engine driven pump fail.
FUEL TANK SELECTION
The fuel selector unit handle is located forward and to the
left of the pilot's seat. Take-offs should be made using the
left main tank and landings should be made using the main
tank that is more nearly full. In no case should a take-off be
made if the fuel indicators show less than 1 3 gallons of
fuel in each main tank.
lf the engine stops because of insufficient fuel, refer to the
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Section for the Air Start
procedures.
FUEL REQUIRED FOR FLIGHT
lt is the pilot's responsibility to ascertain that the fuel
quantity indicators are functioning and maintaining a
reasonable degree of accuracy, and be certain of ample
fuel for a flight . Takeoff is prohibited if the fuel quantity
indicators do not indicate above the yellow arc. An
inaccurate indicator could give an erroneous indication of
fuel quantity. A minimum of 13 gallons of fuel is required
in each main tank before takeoff.
