Fuel Tanks – The dual fuel system has a
total capacity of 621 gallons of avgas consisting of two main tanks
(210 gallons each) and one auxiliary tank (201 gallons). The left
main tank normally supplies fuel to the left engine and right main tank
supplies fuel to the right engine. However, the system provides for
operating either engine with fuel supplied from either main tank or the
auxiliary tank. No crossfeed capability exists.
The main tanks are mounted in the center section between
the front and center spars. The auxiliary fuel tank is mounted directly
behind the left main tank.
Refueling is accomplished through gravity flow fillers
recessed into the wing upper surface between each nacelle and the
fuselage. Each tank is equipped with a water sump and drain valve
beneath the center section surface.
The mechanic would check for water in each tank thru each tank drain.
