4.3 Fuel system and its use
The fuel system consists of a wing fuel tank in each wing, both
connected by a fuel valve. It is necessary to check fuel level
regularly and switch between tanks if require.
There is a fuel return line from the engine to the left fuel tank
which maintains correct fuel pressure, and as well helping bleed off
any vapors that could cause vapor lock, resulting in a possible loss
of power.
An electric fuel pump is installed behind the fuel tank selector.
4.3.1 Normal use of fuel system:
1. Use left fuel tank when both tanks are full.
2. Switch to right tank after about 30min of flight time.
3. Switch between tanks as needed in order to keep tanks balanced.
4. The fuel system returns fuel back into left fuel tank – no matter
whether the fuel tank selector is set to left or right. When
operating with fuel amounts close to the required minimum,
consider using the left tank.
