INTRODUCTION:
Mooney
M20
Series aircraft have
a
decal
applied
to
each
fuel filler
cap
to
indentify
the
type
and
quantity
of
fuel
as
required
by
regulation
for
the
proper
operation
of
the
engine
installed
in
the aircraft.
To further
identify
the
proper
type
of
fuel
required
in
aircraft
the
General
Aviation
Manufacturers
Association
(GAMA),
in
a
joint
effort
with
its
members,
has
developed
a
color-coded decai
that
can
be
placed
adjacent
to
the
fuel filler
openings
on
all aircraft.
The
purpose
of
this
decal is
to
aid
ground
personnel
in
selecting
the
proper
fuel
when
refueling
the aircraft.
There have
been instances
of the
wrong
type
of
fuel used
to
refuel
some
piston
engine
aircrafts.
