2. MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
A. Fuel System
(1) Safety Precautions
WARNING:
A fire extinguisher must be available.
Ground exhaust pipe outlet and fuel service equipment prior to every fuel-
ing and defueling procedure.
Check wing fuel tank vents for obstruction before refueling.
Do not fill tanks within 100 feet (30.48 meters) of any energized electrical
equipment capable of producing sparks.
Do not smoke or allow smoking or open flame within 100 feet (30.48 meters)
of airplane or vehicle.
Do not operate electronic equipment or electrical switches during the fuel-
ing or defueling procedure.
Frequently check fuel for ice formation during cold weather operation.
Sample fuel after each refueling and before the first flight of the day for any
moisture or contaminates. Wait at least five minutes for any moisture and
sediment to settle before flushing fuel drain valves.
(2) Approved Fuels and Capacities
WARNING:
Service the fuel tanks with 100 (green) or 100LL (blue) minimum grade fuel
only. The use of lower octane rated fuel can result in destruction of an
engine the first time high power is applied. If the airplane is inadvertently
serviced with the wrong grade of fuel, the fuel system must be completely
drained, properly serviced, and the proper engine inspection completed.
Engine inspection should be performed as indicated in the Teledyne Conti-
nental Motors Overhaul Manual.
