M-18-C Mite


Recommended Posts

In the middle of trying to annual a Mite, and discovered that there is no drain on the aux fuel tank. Does anyone out there have a drawing 1049 for the factory installed aux tank. If you own a Mite, could you look under the cockpit to see if you have a drain? I am struggling with returning the AC to service without a drain.

I'm not sure about the Mite but I can tell you that one of Al Mooney's earlier 1940 designs, the Culver Cadet, does not have a drain on the main fuel tank.  There was also an optional long range tank that mounted behind the seat and that did not have a drain on it either (if I remember correctly).  There is a gascolator on the firewall which is difficult to access during preflight checks.

Hopefully a Mite expert will chime in with some Mite facts for you!
