GAS INSTALLATION
The gas bottle is located in a drained container usually under one of the cockpit seats.
If the Gaz system is employed, a spare bottle can be stowed with the Gaz bottle in use
in the one container. A gas tap is fitted to the bottle and should always be turned off
when not in
use.
A second gas tap is fitted in the galley locker bulkhead and a flame
failure device fitted-to gas burners when the German legislation system is installed.
