CESSNA SECTION 4
MODEL 182T NAV III NORMAL PROCEDURES
GFC 700 AFCS
FUEL VAPOR PROCEDURES
The engine fuel system can cause fuel vapor formation on the ground
during
warm
weather.
This
will
generally
occur
when
the
outside
ambient air temperature is above 80°F. Vapor formation may increase
when the engine fuel flows are lower at idle and taxi engine speeds.
The following procedures are recommended when engine idle speed
and
fuel
flow
fluctuations
show
that
fuel
vapor
may
be
present:
1.
With
the
mixture
full
rich,
set
the
throttle
at
1800
RPM
to
2000
RPM.
Maintain
this
power
setting
for
1
to
2
minutes
or
until
smooth
engine
operation
returns.
j 2. Retard the throttle to the idle stop to verify normal engine
operation.
3. Advance the throttle to 1200 RPM and lean the mixture as
described
under
FUEL
SAVINGS
PROCEDURES
FOR
NORMAL
OPERATIONS.
4. In
addition
to
the
above
procedures,
the
auxiliary
fuel
pump
may
be
turned
ON
with
the
mixture
adjusted
as
required
to
aid
vapor
suppression
during
ground
operations.
The
auxiliary
fuel
pump
should
be
turned
OFF
prior
to
takeoff.
5.
Just
prior
to
TAKEOFF,
apply
full
throttle
for
approximately
10
seconds
to
verify
smooth
engine
operation
for
takeoff.
NOTE
When
the
engine
is
operated
above
1800
RPM,
the
resulting
increased
fuel
flow
results in
lower
fuel
temperatures
throughout
the
engine
fuel
system.
This
increased
flow
purges
the
fuel
vapor
and
the
cooler
fuel
minimizes
vapor
formation.
In
addition
to
the
previous
procedures,
the
sections
below
should
be
reviewed,
and
where
applicable,
adhered
to:
Section 3 -Take note of the excessive fuel vapor procedures in both
the checklist and the amplified procedures sections.
Section 4 -Take note of the hot weather operational notes and
procedures in both the checklist and the amplified
procedures sections.
Section 7 -Take note of the altitude operational procedures and the
section
on
auxiliary
fuel
pump
operation.
