When feeding from either main tank, begin tank transfer into that tank before its level drops below five gallons remaining. Do not transfer auxiliary fuel unless in level flight.

STC SA1614WE Auxiliary Fuel Tanks • Note: Do not transfer auxiliary fuel during take off, landing, refueling, and when empty. Main fuel tank quantity below the full level can be determined by reference to fuel quantity gauges and by calculating fuel used by: 1) Estimating engine fuel flow rates versus time. 2) If installed, using engine fuel flow rate indicator vs. time. 10. Placards The following information is displayed in the form of composite or individual placards. 10.1 In full view of pilot: "Total aux fuel 24 U.S. gals (23 gal useable)." Transfer aux fuel only in level flight when main is half empty and when main tank is not supplying engine. Aux fuel switch must be off during takeoff, landing, filling and when empty. For utility category operation aux tank fuel switch must be off and aux tanks empty." 10.2 At auxiliary fuel tank pump switches: "Left wing aux fuel 12.0 U.S. gallons 11.5 gallons usable ON OFF" "Right wing aux fuel 12.0 U.S. gallons 11.5 gallons usable ON OFF" 10.3 Installed adjacent to each auxiliary fuel tank leak detection drain (2 per side) "Fuel or vapor from drain requires immediate repairs" 10.4 Installed adjacent to appropriate wing tip tank pump circuit breakers or fuses: "Aux tank L pump" Aux tank R pump" 10.5 For Models 172 through models 172M, F172F through F172M, and Models 170A and 170B; forward of each auxiliary tank filler: "12 U.S. gal. 80/87 min. grade Av. gasoline. Aux. fuel switch must be off before filling." 10.6 For Models 172N (S/N 17261445, 17267585-17259309) and F172N, F172P, FR172E through FR172J, FR172K(1977 model), R172E, R172K (S/N R1722000-1722794); forward of each auxiliary tank filler: "12 U.S. gal. 100/130 min. grade Av. Gasoline. Aux. fuel switch must be off before filling." 10.7 For Models 172N (S/N 17261578,17269310-17274009), 172P, 172Q, 172R, 172S, R172K (S/N R1722725 and on), 172RG, FR172K (1978 model on); forward of each auxiliary tank filler: "12 U.S. gal. 100LL/100 min. grade Av. gasoline. Aux. fuel switch must be off before filling." FAA Approved Date: pg 7 of 12.

STC SA1614WE Auxiliary Fuel Tanks SECTION III - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES NOTE With Flint Aero, Inc. Auxiliary Fuel Tanks installed, fuel transfer to the standard main wing tanks is provided by the auxiliary fuel transfer tank pumps controlled by the auxiliary fuel tank transfer pump switches. EMERGENCY LANDING WITH OR WITHOUT ENGINE POWER Auxiliary Fuel Tank transfer pump switches.....OFF. WING FIRE Auxiliary Fuel Tank transfer pump switches.....OFF. SECTION IV - NORMAL PROCEDURES PREFLIGHT INSPECTION - AUXILIARY FUEL TRANSFER TANKS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Visually inspect external areas of wing around auxiliary fuel tanks for any signs of fuel leakage. Check each auxiliary tank filler cap for security and vent lines for obstructions. Visually check auxiliary fuel tanks for quantity. From each auxiliary fuel tank, drain a sample quantity of fuel. Check for contamination. If any water is visible, drain additional amounts of fuel until all water is expelled from the tank. Master switch on. Check auxiliary fuel tank gauges for fuel quantity. With master switch on, check each auxiliary fuel tank pump for operation by operating each pump separately with auxiliary fuel tank transfer switches. Listen for pump operation. If no noise or vibration, assume pump is not operating. Check for serviceability. Before Takeoff a. Add the following to the before takeoff procedure: Auxiliary fuel tank transfer pump switches..
