(c) Fuel Venting
Adequate fuel tank venting is essential for a continuous fuel supply.
Blockage of the system will result in decreased fuel flow and a
potentialenginestoppage.
Both fuel tanks are vented outboard through vent lines which
protrude through the bottom surface of both wings near the wing
strut. The tanks are interconnected by a vent line from the right fuel
tank to the left tank. The header-tank vent line also connects to the
leftandrightwingtankventline.
Clean and non-obstructed fuel vents are essential for an
uninterrupted fuel supply.
(d) Fuel Drain System
The fuel system is equipped with drain valves to provide a means for
removing trapped water and for the examination of fuel
contamination.(SeeFig.7-12).
Each wing fuel tank has a drain-valve at its base. The wing tank drain
valves are located on the underside of wing in the wing root area (See
Fig. 7-13). A drain-valve is also located at the lowest point of the fuel
system, which can be accessed at the bottom of the fuselage. In
displays are also presented graphically to show percentage of fuel
remaining for quick reference. The indicator red arc shows a low
fuel level, in the corresponding tank, from 0 - 2.5 gallons. When a
fuel level of 2.5 gallons and less has been reached in a given tank, a
“Lo” will be displayed in the corresponding display area of the fuel
indicator and the EC 100 will begin to flash low fuel level warning
signal coupled to a pulsing audio warning tone. Accurate fuel
reading can only be taken in non-accelerated level flight.
