Refueling!
If you’re using self-serve or a line service truck, please observe the following tips:
• Your belt buckle can easily scratch the leading edge so try to cover this or any
other sharp objects on your clothing.
• Use the exhaust pipe as the grounding point for static electricity discharge
• Use a rubber refueling mat whenever possible
• To avoid “splash back” insert the nozzle at an angle pointed towards the cabin
• Avoid rubbing the fuel nozzle against the rim of the filler hole
• Avoid allowing the fuel nozzle to rest on the bottom of the tank
Fuel: Be careful when you look into the fuel tanks to check levels, especially at night if
you are holding a flashlight. As you pour the “sumped” gas back into the tank make sure
you don’t drop the fuel tester into the tank and be sure to check the security of the filler
cap locks once you’re finished with the fuel checks.
There are five fuel drains to the check. Two under each wing and one just behind the
nose wheel. Be especially cognizant of the inboard (collector tank) drains: they can flow
very quickly.
We recommend you return clean sumped fuel to the tanks.
Dumping fuel on the ground in Florida for example, carries a
first offense fine of $50,000! We’re not kidding!
