Fuel is gravity-fed from the metal wing tanks, through a shut off valve and a fuel strainer, to the carburetor. Positive ventilation is provided by a vent line and check valve assembly located in the left wing tank and a crossover line connecting the two tanks together. The vent line from the check valve assembly extends overboard through the lower wing skin adjacent to the laft wing strut. A fuel line drain is located between the shut off valve and the strainer.

Precautions
During all fuelling, defueling, tank purging, and tank repairing or assembly, ground the aircraft to a suitable ground stake. Residual fuel draining from lines and hose constitutes a fire hazard. Use caution to prevent the accumulation of fuel when lines or hose are disconnected. Cap open lines and cover connections to prevent thread damage and the entrance of foreign matter.
