Fuel Transfer Operations
The manual specifies that fuel transfer from the tip tanks should only occur in level flight. It details the operation of the left and right fuel pumps, indicating that both pumps should be turned on and off as needed during the transfer process. It is crucial to monitor the main tank gauges to prevent overflow, especially since fuel consumption may exceed the transfer rate.
Fuel Capacity and Specifications
The auxiliary wing tip fuel tanks have a capacity of 20 gallons each. The manual outlines the types of fuel that can be used, including AVGAS 80/87, AVGAS 100/100LL, and unleaded auto fuel. It also provides airspeed limitations for various models, including a maximum design maneuvering speed of 145 MPH for normal category operations.
Placarding Requirements
The manual includes specific requirements for placarding related to the installation of the tip tanks. It states that all characters must be bold and symmetrically centered, with clear or black-backed Mylar material used for the placards. The placards must be placed in full view of the pilot and adjacent to the pump switches.
Airspeed Limitations
Airspeed limitations are provided for different models equipped with tip tanks. For the F33A, the maximum design maneuvering speed is 145 MPH (126 knots). The manual emphasizes that intentional spins are prohibited and that no acrobatic maneuvers are approved.
Installation Drawings
The manual contains a numerical drawing list that outlines the various installation drawings and instructions necessary for the proper installation of the auxiliary wing tip fuel tanks. These drawings are critical for ensuring that all components are installed according to specifications.
Safety notes
- Fuel consumption may exceed the tip transfer rate; initiate transfer with main tanks half full.
- Intentional spins are prohibited; no acrobatic maneuvers are approved.
