-The S2S is designed to operate on medium fuel oil, but Jet-A can be used in that fuel oil is not available.  100LL should never be used.  Use of 100LL will result in fuel contamination and significantly reduced available power.  If the aircraft is accidentally fueled with 100LL, the tank should be completely drained and refuel with proper fuel before the next flight.

-The aircraft is designed to operate on medium fuel oil, held in a 31 gallon brass bladder tank mounted on the underside of the helicopter.  The burner normally consumes approximately 12 gallons/hour at cruise speed.  Fuel pressure to the burner is provided by two fuel pumps mounted in parallel feeding from the main tank.  One fuel pump is engine-driven and provides effective pressure when the engine RPM is at least 50% of operating speed.  The second pump is electrically operated and controlled through a switch in the cockpit.  A fuel pressure gauge, part of the Triple-Gauge on the mid console, shows the current fuel pressure at the output of the pumps.

		+	Over time, water in the boiler loop will build up mineral deposits and become less effective. Boiler water should be replaced after approximately 5 hours of operation, or when reduced performance (higher fuel flow required to maintain nominal boiler pressure) is observed. The following procedure should be used to replace water in the boiler loop:
		+
		+	# Ensure helicopter is completely shutdown and cold. Boiler temperature must be below 212F.
		+	# Connect external external power to power port to avoid draining battery.
		+	# Turn on BATT switch and FEED PUMP switches to ensure water is pumped from reservoir to the boiler.
		+	# Open drain valve on the bottom of the boiler.
		+	# Wait for all water to drain from the system (no more water flows from the drain).
		+	# Close the drain valve.
		+	# Click the filler port on the water reservoir.
		+	# Wait for water in the reservoir to transfer to the boiler. After transfer, the boiler will be at 100% while the reservoir will be empty or near empty.
		+	# Click the filler port on the water reservoir one more time to refill the reservoir.
