8-6 ENSTROM 280FX OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Rev. 6
Report No. 28-AC-020 Feb 21/12
CAUTION
In many cases, it may be necessary to operate
from fields lacking normal fuel servicing. When
fueling from drums or any questionable source of
supply, a clean funnel with a good screen or filter
should be used to remove any foreign materials
from the fuel.
(1) Attach ground wire to landing gear skids.
(2) Remove fuel cap and insert hose nozzle.
CAUTION
Do not allow nozzle to bend filler neck. This will
help prevent bending the fiberglass fuel tanks.
NOTE
When refueling a hot engine, service the right
tank, opposite the turbocharger exhaust first,
allowing turbo exhaust to cool down prior to
refueling the left tank.
NOTE
As cross-feeding is occurring during fueling, and
to ensure full capacity of both tanks, it may be
necessary to refill the right side tank, taking care
not to overfill.
(3) Secure fuel caps and remove ground wire.
(4) Visually check all fuel lines and components for
signs of leaks.
