Fuel is stored in integral fuel tanks in each wing. The tanks each have a capacity of approximately 85
US gallons (321 liters).
A fuel collector tank with an integral auxiliary fuel pump is installed in the fuselage. Fuel passes through
a fuel shut-off valve to the engine driven fuel pump.
Water in the fuel is allowed to drain to a water collector tank through lines installed at the lowest point in
each fuel tank and from a line in the bottom of the collector tank. A drain valve is installed in the bottom
of the tank.
A. Main Tanks
The tanks are located in the area enclosed by main and auxiliary spars, and ribs 1 and 7A. Two
access panels and a filler port are located on the upper surface of each tank, and a float actuated
fuel quantity transmitter is mounted on the inboard rib of each tank.
The inboard section of each tank is vented through the same vent on top of the fuselage. The
outboard part of each tank is vented through a float vent valve. The valve closes when fuel
reaches the valve and opens when fuel is removed.
The tanks are connected to a fuel collector tank and a water collector tank.
The fuel collector tank is installed in the rear fuselage and is connected to each fuel tank by a
separate pipe. A connection in the bottom of the tank is connected to the water collector tank.
An electrically powered auxiliary fuel pump is installed in the bottom of the tank.
A vent is installed in the top of the tank which attaches to a pipe which connects to the outward
vent system.
The water collector tank is installed below the collector tank in the rear fuselage. A pipe carries
fuel from the lowest point of each tank, and also from the collector tank to let water collect in the
tank.
A 28V DC electrically operated fuel pump (booster pump) is installed in the collector tank. The
pump is operated when high flow rates of fuel are required. It also provides a back-up facility if
the engine driven pump fails.
The pump is controlled by the AUX F PUMP switch on the instrument panel. When the pump is
energized, the caption AUX F PUMP in the annunciator panel, comes on.

E. Shut-Off Valve
A shut-off valve is located in the engine feed line to the engine at the fireproof bulkhead. The
valve is manually operated from the cockpit and gives an isolation function for an emergency or,
for removing an engine compartment component without draining the fuel system.
F. Fuel Filter
An fuel filter is installed in the engine compartment before the engine driven fuel pump. The filter
removes solid contamination and is installed with a bypass relief valve.
The fuel flow transmitter is installed between the fuel filter and the engine-driven fuel pump. It
supplies electrical signals which are in proportion to the rate of fuel flow. These signals are
transmitted to the signal conditioner.
The signal conditioner changes the frequency signals in to an analog output which is displayed
on the fuel flow indicator and the fuel used totalizer.
The fuel flow indicator displays fuel flow rate and the fuel used totalizer shows the total fuel used.
The totalizer can be reset to zero.
A low pressure fuel pump is installed on the engine to give a continuous supply of fuel to the high
pressure fuel pump which supplies the fuel control unit. The pump is a vane type with an integral
bypass to allow fuel flow through the pump if there is a failure.
The fuel quantity indicating system comprises: a float-operated fuel quantity transmitter, a fuel
quantity indicator, a fuel flow meter and a fuel used totalizer.
The fuel quantity transmitter is mounted on the inboard bulkhead of each wing tank.
The fuel quantity indicator, fuel flow meter and the fuel used totalizer are located on the right side
of the instrument panel.
J. Vent System
A modified vent system is installed on the collector tank. A vent line is added between the
outward vent system and the top of the collector tank to let the collector tank fill after prolonged
flight in extreme nose up or down attitudes.
Fuel is supplied from forward and rear outlets in each tank to make sure there is a continuous supply of
fuel flows at all aircraft attitudes.
Fuel is supplied from the rear outlet in each tank to the fuel collector tank. The front outlets in each tank
supply fuel through the water collector tank to the fuel collector tank.
The position of the two integral fuel tanks gives gravity fuel flow through the collector tank to the engine.
A vent installed in the top of the collector tank, lets the tank fill quickly after prolonged flight at extreme

nose up or down operation. Fuel flows from the auxiliary fuel pump in the collector tank and then
through the shut-off valve to a fuel filter.
The fuel filter has a bypass valve to let fuel flow if the filter becomes clogged. The increased pressure
opens the bypass valve and closes a switch to light up the F FILTER caution caption on the annunciator
panel.
Fuel pressure is sensed between the engine driven pump and the fuel control assembly high pressure
pump. Low fuel pressure is indicated when the FUEL PRESS caution caption illuminates on the
annunciator panel.
Fuel flow is measured by a flow transmitter installed downstream of the fuel filter. Signals from the
transmitter drive the fuel flow indicator and the fuel used totalizer positioned on the instrument panel.
The low pressure engine driven fuel pump supplies fuel to the high pressure fuel pump in the engine
fuel system.
