Fuel Quantity Indication
A fuel probe measures the fuel quantity in the tank. The indication is provided by the fuel
quantity gauge. Information about fuel consumption can be found in Chapter 5 -
PERFORMANCE.
Alternate Means for Fuel Quantity Indication for the Fuel Tank:
A fuel dipstick is supplied with all airplanes to permit direct measurement of fuel level
during the preflight check.
Electric fuel gauges may malfunction. Check fuel quantity with the fuel dipstick before
each flight.
To check the fuel level:
(a) Insert the graduated end of the fuel dipstick into the tank through the fuel filler
opening until the dipstick touches the bottom.
(b) Withdraw the dipstick from the fuel tank.
(c) Read the fuel quantity. The dipstick is calibrated in increments of 1/4 of the useable
fuel capacity (22.4 US gallons/84 liters).
Several readings should be taken to confirm accuracy.
The designated location for the fuel quantity measuring device is in the baggage
compartment behind the back rest.
