The ST190 Saddle Tanks system increases usable fuel quantity by 190 gallons. The ST120 Saddle Tanks system increases usable fuel quantity by 120 gallons. The ST72 Saddle Tanks system increases usable fuel quantity by 72 gallons. The terminology used in this supplement matches the terminology used in the basic Airplane Flight Manual and Pilot Operating Manual. This includes the definitions of warnings, cautions, and notes. Also, you will find the format of limitations, procedures, and checklists herein match the AFM and POM format for the 200, A200, B200, 300 and B300 series airplanes. COMPATIBLE MODIFICATIONS The following STC-approved modifications have been found to be compatible with the Saddle Tank installation: 1.

These tanks ride on top of the wing behind the nacelle. The contour of the tank’s lower surface matches that of the wing and fits like a saddle. Five attachment points on the wing hold each tank in place. An aerodynamic fairing streamlines the region between the rear of the engine nacelle and tank. The tanks are constructed solely from aluminum and are an assembly of a formed shell, segmented floor panels, and internal baffles. The tank shell and floor are 0.080 inch thick aircraft grade aluminum that makes the tanks very durable and easy to repair, and provides excellent protection against lightning strikes and corrosion. The internal baffles, which are constructed from 0.050 inch thick aircraft grade aluminum, control fuel sloshing and provide stiffness. The pieces are joined by a combination of riveted and welded seams. A special sealant (PRC PR1422) is applied internally to seal the seams. Removable panels in the shell and floor provide access to the inside in case a repair is needed. Each tank weighs approximately 90 pounds. A flush mounted filler cap, which is lightning safe, is located on top of the tank. When securing the cap, it should be properly aligned with the adjacent index mark to ensure proper sealing. As with all fuel tank caps, it is a matter of safety to ensure the cap is closed properly and sealed. Figure 7-1 shows the location of the Saddle Tank filler cap. FIGURE 7-1 SADDLE TANK FILLER CAP REFERENCE ONLY SECTION 7 CENTEX AEROSPACE 045-1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENT MAY 2019 7-4 For ST190 Saddle Tanks, a sump drain with a push-to-open valve is located at the inboard rear corner of each tank. Opening the drain valve allows fuel from the lowest point in the tank to escape, which serves as a means to remove water or other contaminates. Figure 7-2 shows the location of the tank sump drain valve. FIGURE 7-2 TANK SUMP DRAIN Fuel in the ST190 Saddle Tank enters the airplane fuel system through an interconnected line between the tank and the auxiliary tank. The line is constructed of 5/8 inch diameter aluminum tubing. The Series 1 line traverses through the rear of the wheel well fairing under the rear spar and into the wheel well. A drain is provided at the lowest point (under the rear spar) so any contaminates that may have collected in the line can be removed. Figure 7-3 shows the location of the drain valve. FIGURE 7-3 FUEL LINE DRAIN REFERENCE ONLY CENTEX AEROSPACE 045-1 SECTION 7 AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENT SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION MAY 2019 7-5 An update called the Series 2 line traverses a short distance along the rear wing spar web and then turns forward passing through the web and into the auxiliary tank bay. It feeds fuel into the auxiliary tank bladder through a nipple fitting and is secured by clamps inside the bladder. There is no low point in the line, therefore, no fuel drain is provided. Figure 7-4 shows a sump drain valve located between the inverter cooling louvers on the underside of the wing. This drain ensures the vent line outboard of the Saddle Tank is dry. A small amount of fuel (less than one ounce) may collect at this location. If larger amounts of fuel are routinely drained at this location, the suction relief and check valves in the fuel tank vent system should be checked for proper operation. FIGURE 7-4 VENT LINE DRAIN REFERENCE ONLY SECTION 7 CENTEX AEROSPACE 045-1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL SUPPLEMENT AUGUST 2017 7-6 Figure 7-5 is a schematic of the fuel system with the Saddle Tank system depicted in red. Due to the Saddle Tank being on top of the wing, fuel in the Saddle Tank flows downward into the auxiliary tank assisted by gravity. Fuel inside the auxiliary tank is handled by the existing fuel system, which pumps it into the nacelle tank. Do not open the auxiliary tank cap if there is fuel in the Saddle Tank. Opening the cap and the anti-siphon valve (flapper) can result in fuel flowing out of the auxiliary tank if the Saddle Tank contains fuel. CAUTION REFERENCE ONLY
