“Dr. Tuky”

N478B

 


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.
