     FUEL SYSTEM

     2.   Fuel tanks and gauge

     (a)  Fuel is carried in five tanks, three in the fuselage and one
          in each  wing. Incorporated in the centre fuselage tank
          is a fuel recuperator, the contents of which are used only
          during inverted flight.

     (b)  A 220-gallon jettisonable belly tank is normally carried
          beneath the fuselage. The mechanical jettison handle
          (3) is on the port shelf.

     (c)  The tank capacities will vary slightly from aircraft to
          aircraft and according to whether the aircraft is pressure
          or open-line refuelled; the following should be taken as
          minimum capacities:

     (d)  A single contents gauge (60) on the starboard side of the
          instrument panel records the total contents, in pounds, of
          all internal tanks whenever electrical power is available.
