Refueling 

 

 

Rotax  912  engines  are  designed  for  automotive  lead-free  gasoline  (BA95  Natural). 
Temporary  limited  use  of  AVGAS  is  possible.  See  Rotax  912  UL,  Rotax  912  ULS 
Operating manual for more details. 

 

The aircraft has two fuel tanks, capacity 50L each. 

 

There are two methods of refueling LEGEND aircraft. 

 
 

1) 

Refueling from fuel station (dispenser) 

 

 

Fuel station must be certified for aircraft refueling. 

 

Always neutralize electric potentials of aircraft and station. 

 

LEGEND  aircraft  has  two  grounding  points  for  this  purpose.  One  of  them  is  copper 
grounding strip at landing gear leg. The other is exhaust manifold, which is better suited 
for  attachment  of  grounding  clip  of  refueling  station. 

Do  not  handle  fuel  tank  before 

completing  the  grounding.

  Open  fuel  cap  and  insert  filling  nozzle  into  tank.  It  is  not 

necessary to use strainer, as certified refueling stations always include it.
