| | | | | No, nothing to do with the sump drains themselves. The
| sump
| | | area
| | | | | is a small depession at the bottom of the tank. All water
| in
| | | the
| | | | | tank should go there by design. However most tanks have
| | small
| | | | | imperfections in them where water can get into and stick
| | there.
| | | | | You do a nice calm walkaround and drain your fuel and
| then
| | when
| | | | | you start taxying, the water becomes dislodged and gets
| into
| | a
| | | | | feed port. With some designs, this can add up to a lot of
| | | water...
| | | | |
| | | | | Gotchya, gotchya and gotchya, never thought of what you
| say,
| | and
| | | | | makes perfect sense.
| | | | |
| | | | | Tanks I have are "stainless steel" and not bladders, so I
| | | | | **think**I have a lesser risk of water settling where it
| | | shouldn't
| | | | | be but like you say, a good shake would be prudent to
| better
| | | assure
| | | | | the water indeed does settle down to the sumps so it gets
| | sumped
| | | | | out.
| | | | |
| | | | | Depends on the type, but tin tanks are no kind of insurance
| | | against
| | | | | it.
| | | | Try
| | | | | it sometime. Drain some fuel, if there's some water, drain
| it
| | all
| | | out
| | | | | and then shake the airplane. Pretty sure you;ll get some
| more.
| | | | |
| | | | | BTW, you're tanks are more than likely aluminum. I could be
| | wrong,
| | | | | but
| | | | I've
| | | | | never seen stainless tanks in any airplane.
