Fuel Selector
The Fuel Selector is a Andair duplex fuel selector. It
simultaneously selects / shuts off both the feed and return
lines from each tank.
There are 3 positions, “LEFT”
“LEFT”
“LEFT”
“LEFT”, “RIGHT”
“RIGHT”
“RIGHT”
“RIGHT” and “OFF”
“OFF”
“OFF”
“OFF”. To select
off, the safety latch has to be lifted while turning the handle
simultaneously.
7.10.3
Fuel Pump / Filter
The Fuel Pump is the standard Van’s Fuel Injection pump kit,
produced by “Airflow Performance”.
First the fuel is filtered through a serviceable fuel filter, then it
enters the fuel pump package.
The package offers three flow paths. One is low-resistance
unpowered through a check valve and only based on
suction by the engine. A second flows through the electrical
boost pump to the engine. And the third is a pressure relief
circuit within the package in the event that the pump is
running but no fuel is flowing downstream. Also, there is a
tiny orifice in the check valve, whose function is to relief
pressure when the whole system is unpowered/airplane
parked.
7.10.4
Fuel Return Line / Check Valve
The system has a fuel return line allowing for a constant flow
of fuel from the tanks to the engine. Unused fuel is returned
to the same tank that it came from. The primary purpose of
the fuel return system is to decrease the likelihood of fuel
