 |
|
I know someone once posted a fuel drain that can be used to drain all fuel out through the header tank. I believe it came from Spruce. So first which part number and how long to drain lets say per gallon of fuel?

George,
I simply replaced the AN elbow at the bottom of the header tank with an AN tee fitting. One branch now goes to the engine, other through a shutoff valve to a drain fitting on the belly of the plane. I did reinforce the belly at the drain by backing fabric with a small piece of aluminum, pop-riveted to the fuse-frame. Shut off the main fuel valve, open the header vent and the drain valve (located behind passenger seat) and fuel drains quite quickly (through a detachable hose) into cans. Nothing fancy, works great.
