7.7 -- FUEL SYSTEM
(Figure 7.7.1)
The fuel system comprises fuel tanks, fuel unit, selectors (manual and
automatic), electric and mechanical boost pumps, engine fuel system,
gaging installation, monitoring installation and drains.
FUEL TANKS
Fuel tanks are formed by sealed casings in each wing. Each fuel tank
comprises a filling port located at the end of wing upper surface, two drain
valves located at the lower surface (one near main landing gear, at trailing
edge side, the second one near wing root side, at leading edge), a vent valve
located on the lower surface, a suction strainer and three level gages.
FUEL UNIT
The fuel unit combines shut--off valve, tank selector and filter functions. It is
connected to the manual selector through a mechanical control. The fuel filter
is located in a bowl at the lower part of the unit. It is fitted with a by--pass valve,
a clogging indicator and a drain valve.
TANK MANUAL SELECTOR
(Figure 7.7.2)
The tank manual selector is located on the pedestal rear face. It allows
selecting the tank (R or L) to be used and setting unit to OFF. To change from
L position to OFF position, turn the selector clockwise (L
→
R
→
OFF) ;
change from R position to OFF position requires a voluntary action from the
pilot (pull and turn). The ”pull and turn” maneuver prevents involuntary
operation. When the unit is set to OFF, the ”FUEL OFF” CAS message
remains visible.
