Default Wren 44- shutdown

Hi guys,

I'm very new to jets, so I just wanted to ask, after I have run my wren 44 Gold, is there anything specific I need to do after running other than just drain the fuel tank? I have noticed that after I have shut the turbine down the fuel line is still primed with raw fuel, I was concerned that this may cause a problem for the turbine if it was left for a couple of weeks before the next run?

Any help would be great

Stephen

Stephan,

It is always a good idea to drain the main tanks. However...I suggest that you leave the UAT and all fuel lines as they are ...to guard against the possibility of getting air bubbles in the system. Especially if the motor is only sitting unused for a few weeks. Also, remember to unplug all batteries for safety sake!
Cheers!!
