2.12 Fuel
Fuel tank capacity - wing tanks................................................
2 x 40 l
- link tank ...............................................................................5 l
Max. fuel quantity....................................................................85 l
Usable fuel quantity................................................................84 l
Unusable fuel quantity..............................................................1 l
Fuel specification ...................unleaded EUROSUPER ROZ 95
in accordance with DIN 51607
Type recommended in the Slovak Republic.....................BA 95 Natural
The fuel system includes two wing tanks of 40 l fuel capacity each, a link
tank of 5 l capacity , drain cock, fuel cocks, a fuel filter, an engine fuel
pump and connecting line.
The fuel is gravity fed from the right-hand or left-hand wing tank into the
link tank depending which wing tank fuel cock is open. The fuel is then
further directed from the link tank via the main fuel cock and fuel filter
into the mechanical fuel pump on the engine which delivers the fuel to
carburettors.
The amount of fuel in tank is indicated by a fuel gauge which is a part of
every tank. Minimum fuel quantity in the link tank is indicated visually by
lighting up a warning light on the instrument panel. The remaining fuel,
i.e.4 l, is in that case enough for 15 minutes of flight.
The drain cock outlet is behind the left seat on the outside bottom side of
the fuselage; to drain off water and dirt, the drain pipe is to be pressed
into fuselage and subsequently a fuel sample is to be taken.
It is not advisable to change the used type of gasoline during engine
operation.Since fuel will be in most cases refuelled from a barrel or a
fuel can and not from the filling pump, it is necessary to pay a due
attention to this activity. Refuelling should be carried out in places not
endagering either the aircraft, its attendance or environment. Prior to
refuelling it is always necessary to check gasoline for absence of water.
Sampling should be done both from the transportation containers and
from tanks and aircraft fuel system through drain sump. When refuelling,
a funnel must be used provided with a strainer to trap impurities, or,
even better, with a buckskin leather which can trap also eventual fuel
moisture content. Fuel dumping is performed similarly as sampling by
means of a drain cock. When filling fuel into tanks, be careful to avoid
staining of cockpit window panels and glass with fuel as it contains
corrosive components that will cause a fast deterioration and damage to
cockpit glazing.
