Caution: Keep the aircraft leveled during fueling! Also, do NOT fill the
tanks to the top-edge in warm weather-conditions (keep in
mind the thermal-expansion of the fuel). Else fuel might leak
through the fuel-tank-vents.
The fuel-tank-vents end at the wing-joints between the inner-wing and outer-
wings. The fuel-filler-necks are located at the upper outer side of the inner-
wings.

7.12.3 Circuit-Logic and Operation of the Fuel-Pumps
During normal operations, only the main-fuel-pump and the fuel-circulation-
pump for the feeder compartment of the right tank are running. The auxiliary-
fuel-pump is not running in this case. They are supplied by the electric circuit of
the internal-generator (internal-generator or main-battery). To operate the
pumps, the master-switch and the engine-bus must be turned ON.
If the Aux.-Pump-switch is ON, for example during T/O and landing, then the
auxiliary-fuel-pump is also running.
