FUEL SYSTEM
The standard Velocity XL FG has two wing fuel tanks in the strakes,
each carrying about 33 gallons of fuel.
These drain to a common sump tank that
carries another 4 gallons for a combined total of 70 gallons.
This may vary depending on the
construction of the strakes. In my case,
each strake contains 34 gallons
for
a combined total of 72 gallons.
