Our fuel systems are slightly modified on the standard layout because in
Australia we are required to have a fuel drain system.
The standard tube connecting the two fuel tanks is replaced with heavy
duty fuel hose, the standard hose clamps are replaced with super clamps.
The fuel drain plugs are replaced with hose nipples (metric 6 mm
standard pitch) and feed each tank to a common fuel drain made from a
tee piece and curtis drain valve assembly.
We mount the drain valve up into the bolts which hold on the suspension
swinging arms and the fuel can be checked from underneath the aircraft.
