OPTIONAL EXTENDED RANGE TANK
▲ WARNING: The optional tank is only approved for Jet-A1
The total fuel capacity can be increased to 160 l / 35.2 Imp gal / 42.24
US gal (159 l / 35 Imp gal / 42 US gal usable) by installing an optional
fuel tank of 50 l / 11 Imp gal / 13.2 US gal.
The optional tank is located in the fuselage, aft of the rear seat. The fuel
from the optional tank can be transferred into the main tank by pulling the
transfer valve control, located on the instrument panel. The fuel
temperature and the fuel level of the optional tank are displayed either on
the triple indicator or on the quad indicator (depending on the instrument
panel model) when a momentary switch is pushed (warning LED signal).

to receive full quantity from the optional fuel tank.
Since the optional fuel tank is not heated, it is limited to the use of
JET A-1 only to prevent a potential clogging of Diesel Fuel to low
temperature.
