| Fueling the Wing Tanks. Fuel is poured into a water and contaminant filter where it then drains into one of the 5-gallon wing tanks . Although the tanks can cross-feed during flight, the fuel valve is shut off when fueling. Due to a centered fuel filler neck, the plane must be level (raise tail) for a complete fill. Note the prop position to avoid backing into it (been there-done that) |
