Fuel
Transmitter/s have always been used in our Tip Tank (auxiliary)
fuel tank systems. Real time Pilot /system information is of the
most importance, especially fuel quantity. Our Fuel
Transmitter/s (sending units) are matched and calibrated to the
Tip Tank system fuel quantity indicator (gage).
Fuel Quantity Indicator/s: The standard
installation kit provides a single quantity indicator/s (gage),
accommodating a standard 2 ¼” instrument hole, internally lit,
and uses a placarded Tip Tank selector switch for left hand and
right hand Tip Tank fuel quantity viewing. This indicator/s can
also be used separately for each Tip Tank, eliminating the Tip
Tank quantity selector switch.
Dual Fuel Quantity Indicator NOW AVAILABLE for
piston Bonanzas with Tip Tank fuel systems. This “state of the
art” dual fuel quantity indicator (gage) is internally lit,
including a full (F) and empty (E) needle indicator adjustments.
This indicator does not require a Tip Tank quantity selector
switch (That is supplied in our standard kits). It also
accommodates a standard 2 ¼” instrument hole.
Quick Drain Valve is located at the bottom (skid area) of the
Tip Tank. This is the original basic designed valve that has
been used and proven. Its flush concealed design eliminates drag
and will withstand a skid or dragging (like a gear up or gear
collapse) at the contact point. Unlike other aviation quick
drain valves, this valve can not be knocked off from an impact.
A finger strainer is also part of the quick drain valve
assembly. This finger strainer surrounds the tanks' suction line
(pick-up tube).
Fillerwell Door covers a recessed area that
provides clearance for the filler (fuel) cap. This door is flush
fitted to the tank and is spring loaded to auto open when the
streamlined wing type Dzus fastener is turned. Locking
mechanisms are available for security insurance.
Fuel Cap is an expandable rubber (thermos type) cap, using a
thumb lever/ cam type mechanism, expanding the rubber. This is
the same principle used in earlier main tank Bonanza models.
Vent Line is at the exterior of the tank approximately 8” below
and aft of the leading edge on the under side of the tank out of
sight and water resistant.
Suction Line or pick-up tube (3/8” aluminum) delivers fuel from
the Tip Tank into the plumbing system. This design allows Tip
Tank fuel to be virtually all usable.
