 |
|
I am about to install Mod 33 and was wondering after installation, how much fuel is necessary to drain when checking for water considering hose size/length and the fact that the Tees also are connected to return fuel and site gauge lines? How does that T know to drain only from the bottom of the tanks?

A good question. I think you could easily have a liter of water in each tank and never know about it.
The only way for it to get into the fuel lines is by lifting the tail up high C or going into a steep descent.

Hi! Jerry
When the aircraft is a monowheel the copper pipe pick up points should be in the rear corner of the tank as near to the floor as possible. On a trike the same pipes need to pick up from the front corner of the tanks.
I drain a couple of the regular fuel check device full to the brim when doing the check.
