PA28-235 Fuel System ??????
Yesterday I had the good fortune of doing a short frieght run in an old Piper PA28-235. The frieght was computer equipment. Myself and another pilot were looking at ways to stack the boxes when he found a lever behind the right hand control seat. Thinking it must be a release lever for the back seat he pushed & pulled it. The result was a large puddle of fuel leaking from the centre fuel drain. We tried to find this lever mentioned in the flight manual and pilots handbook but it is conspicous by its absence.
The problem is that the lever is in a position where a rear pax could accidentally rest their feet on it thereby draining a tank in flight.
Does anyone know anything about this?
