Fuel is stored in two twenty-five gallon (24 gallons usable) fuel tanks,
giving the airplane a total capacity
of
fifty U.S. gallons
(48
gallons usable).
Each
tank
is equipped with a filler neck indicator tab to aid in determining
fuel remaining when the tanks are not full.
Usable capacity to the bottom
of
the
indicator
tab
is
17
gallons. The tanks are secured to the leading edge
of
each
wing with screws and nut plates. This allows removal for service or
inspection.
The
fuel
tank
selector control (Figure 7-7)
is
located
on
the left side panel
forward
of
the pilot's seat. The button on the selector cover must
be
depressed
and
held while the handle
is
moved to the
OFF
position. The button releases
automatically when the handle
is
moved back
to
the ON position.
An
auxiliary electric fuel pump
is
provided in case
of
the failure
of
the
engine-driven pump. The electric pump should be
ON for all takeoffs and
landings
and
when switching tanks. The fuel pump switch
is
located in the
switch panel above the throttle quadrant.
