DESCRIPTION
MODEL
M2QJ
Fuel is carried in two integral sealed sections of the forward inboard area of
the wings. Total usable fuel capacity is
64
gallons (242.4 liters)(53.3 Imp.
I.
Both tanks have fuel level indicators visible through the filler parts.
These indicators show the 25-gallon (94.7
liters)(20.% Imp. Gals.) level in each
tank. There are sump drains at the lowest point ir? each tank for taking fuel
samples to
check for sediment contawiination or condennsed water accumula-
tion.
The recessed three-position fuel selector handle
aft of the console on the
floor allows the pilot to set the selector valve to
!-EFT tank, WIGHT tank, or
OFF
position. The gascolator, located to the left of the selector valve in the
floorboard, is for draining condensed water and sediment from
the lowest
point in the fuel lines before the first flight of the day and aMer each refueling.
Fuel feeds from one tank at a time to the selector valve and through the
electric fuel
pump (boost pump) enroute no the engine-driven pilrnp and the
file1 injector unit. The electric fuel pump is capable of supplying sufficient
presserre and fuei flow for rated engine performance should the engine driven
pump fail.
Electric fuel-level transmitters in the
tanits operate the fuel gauges. The
rnaster switch actuates the fuel quantity indicator system to maintain an in-
dication of fuel remaining in each lank. The fuel pressure gauge registers fuel
pressure in the line to the injector. Vents in each fuel
tank allaw
for
overflow
and ventilation.
The optionai, visual fuel quantity indicators located in each wing tank are lo
be
used for PARTIAL
FUEL
LOADING only and not for preflight inspection pur-
pose.
Faei Flow
is
presented digitally and indicates volume
of
fuel
being
used
in
GPH
((pounds or liters optional) andlor total fuel used. Optional fuei flow sys-
tems are avaiiable and each depicts its information differently. Refer to ap-
propriate operationai procedure for specific data. A "Fuel Flow Memory"
switch
(FT-101 System) is located in the top of the right hand radio panel to
shut off the memory circuit if the aircraft is to be stored for long periods of
time.
