2. Fuel Quantity - CHECK VISUALLY (for desired level)
3. Fuel Filler Cap - SECURE and VENT CLEAR
4. Fuel Tank Sump Quick Drain Valves - DRAIN
Drain at least a cupful of fuel (using sampler cup) from each
sump location to check for water, sediment, and proper fuel
grade before each flight and after each refueling. If water is
observed, take further samples until clear and then gently rock
wings and lower tail to the ground to move any additional
contaminants to the sampling points. Take repeated samples
from all fuel drain points until all contamination has been
removed. If contaminants are still present, refer to WARNING
below and do not fly airplane.
Collect all sampled fuel in a safe container. Dispose of the
sampled fuel so that it does not cause a nuisance, hazard,
or damage to the environment.
IF, AFTER REPEATED SAMPLING, EVIDENCE OF
CONTAMINATION STILL EXISTS, THE AIRPLANE
SHOULD NOT BE FLOWN. TANKS SHOULD BE
DRAINED AND SYSTEM PURGED BY QUALIFIED
MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL. ALL EVIDENCE OF
CONTAMINATION MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE
FURTHER FLIGHT.
