CESSNA SECTION 7
MODEL 208B 867 SHP AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION
GARMIN G1000
U.S.
FUEL ECOLOGY TANK
A fuel ecology tank is supplied with the engine and is mounted on the
engine side of the firewall, capturing fuel drained from the fuel nozzle
manifolds at engine shutdown. When the engine is restarted, motive
flow fuel feeds an ejector pump in the ecology tank, which picks up the
discharged fuel and recirculates it back into the fuel system.
FUEL PUMP DRAIN RESERVOIR
To control expended lubricating oil from the engine fuel pump drive
coupling area and provide a way to determine if fuel is leaking past the
fuel pump seal, this airplanes is equipped with a drainable reservoir to
collect this allowable discharge of oil and any fuel seepage. The
reservoir is mounted on the front left side of the firewall. It should be
drained once a day or at an interval not to exceed six engine
shutdowns. A drain valve on the bottom side of the cowling enables the
pilot to drain the contents of the reservoir into a suitable container. A
quantity of up to 3 cc of oil and 20 cc of fuel discharge per hour of
engine operation is allowable. If the quantity of oil or fuel drained from
the reservoir is greater than specified, the source of leakage should be
identified and corrected prior to further flight.
