Just be sure to properly ground the fuel tank to the receptacle into which the fuel is being drained. There have been many airplanes and aircraft repair stations burned to the ground during defueling operations. If you use plastic containers, be extra careful and run a bare copper wire from inside the fuel tank on down into the fuel in?the accepting container. Ya can't be too careful! ? Happy Skies, ?

Easy to check, just blow into each tube and see what happens.? If only one moves, you have your answer.? jb Does anyone know for sure? -----Original Message----- From: Wiliam Boelte Sent: Sat, 30 May 2009 8:23 pm Subject: Commander-List: Co Pilot's Airspeed Indicator ? ----- The co-pilot's airspeed indicator in a 1978 Shrike is 20 kts slower than the one on the pilot's side. The mech asked if the pilot and co-pilot airspeed indicators were connected to seperate pitot tubes. I checked the only Mantenance manual which I had? which was one for a 500B and I think that both air speed indicators are connected to both pitot tubes. ? Does anyone know for sure? ? Kindest regards, ? Bill ? ? ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 10:09:40 AM PST US From: "Robert S.
