Schematic of fuel system (fuel return circuit)
WARNING! Visual fuel quantity indicator (tubes) in cockpit do not always provide relevant
information about the actual fuel quantity on board. Due to reasons of wing dihedral, angle of
attack, sideslip and reservoir supply point the readout may be incorrect. Flying with less than 3
cm (1 Inch) of indicated fuel (measured from the bottom of the tube upwards in any of the reser-
voirs) is therefore regarded as hazardous any may result in engine fuel starvation and/or engine
failure.
CAUTION! Due to the position of the fuel reservoir supply point, ying in considerable sideslip
for a longer time may result in fuel starvation to the engine if the fuel tank in the opposite direc-
tion of the sideslip is closed. Should this occur, righten the ight and re-open the fuel tank in
question immediately to prevent engine failure.
