Fuel System Servicing
Fuel Filtration Screen/Element
After the first 25 hours of operation, then every 50-hours or as
conditions dictate, the fuel filtration screen in the gascolator must be
cleaned. After cleaning, a small amount of grease applied to the
gascolator bowl gasket will facilitate reassembly.
Refer to the Airplane Maintenance Manual for Fuel Screen/Element
servicing information.
