Defueling Procedure
1.
Attach hoses to the fill/drain fitting.
2.
Open all valves on the discharging fuel line.
3.
Start pumping into the tank accepting the fuel load from the BATT.
4.
Slow down the pumping as you near the end of defueling. Manually position the fill/drain fitting
to minimize the amount of fuel left in the tank.
5.
Once the discharging fuel is finished, confirmed by an empty/flat BATT tank, close all valves
starting at the BATT tank and finishing at the accepting tank.
6.
Disconnect all hoses and cap them over a drip tray or, if unable due to being on top of the tank, an
absorbent pad.
7.
Disconnect the BATT fill/drain fitting bonding cable from the airframe.
Transporting the Empty BATT
In a repetitive use environment, the BATT may be transported in a folded or unfolded state. In both cases,
the tank should be emptied to the maximum extent possible. All fittings should be closed and the BATT
should be secured to the airframe.
If the BATT will likely be folded, protection for the fill/drain fittings should be carried to prevent damage
to the bladder.
