extended range system is in use, of the preflight
inspection includes draining a small amount of fuel from
this drain to check for fuel contamination. Whenever the
extended range system is removed from the aircraft and
the fuel line is capped off in the fuselage, the remaining
fuel in the line shall be drained.
h. Fuel Purge System. Each engine is provided
with a fuel purge system. The system is designed to
ensure that any residual fuel in the fuel manifolds is
consumed during engine shutdown. During engine
operation, compressor discharge air is routed through a
filter and check valve, pressurizing a small air tank
mounted on the engine truss. On engine shutdown the
pressure differential between the air tank and fuel
manifolds causes air to be discharged from the air tank,
through a check valve, and into manifolds, out through
the nozzles and into the combustion chamber. The fuel
forced into the combustion chamber is consumed,
causing a momentary rise in engine TGT.
i. Fuel Vent System. Each fuel system is
vented through two ram vents located in the underside of
the wing adjacent to the nacelle, and a secondary vent,
located in the aileron cove near the wing tip. To prevent
icing of the vent system, one vent is recessed into the
wing and the other ram vent protrudes out from the wing
and contains a heating element. The vent line at the
nacelle contains an inline flame arrester.
j. Engine Oil-to-Fuel Heat Exchanger. An
engine oil-to-fuel heat exchanger, one located on each
engine accessory case, operates continuously during
engine operation to heat fuel delivered to the engine to
prevent the freezing of water which the fuel may contain
3hl.Fuel System Management.
k. Fuel Transfer System. When the auxiliary
tanks are filled, they will be used first. During transfer of
auxiliary fuel, which is automatically controlled, the
nacelle tanks are maintained full. A check valve in the
gravity feed line from the outboard wing prevents
reverse fuel flow. Normal gravity transfer of the main
wing fuel into the nacelle tanks will begin when auxiliary
fuel is exhausted. The system will gravity feed fuel only
to its respective nacelle tank, i.e., left or right (fig. 2-22).
Fuel will not gravity feed through the crossfeed system.
I. Operation With Failed Engine-Driven Boost
Pump or Standby Pump. Two pumps in each fuel
system provide inlet head pressure to the engine-driven
primary high-pressure fuel pump. If crossfeed is used, a
third pump (the standby fuel pump from the opposite
system) will supply the required pressure. Operation
under this condition will result in an unbalanced fuel
load, as fuel from one system will be supplied to both
engines while all fuel from the system with the failed
engine-driven and standby boost pumps will remain
unused.
2-33. FERRY FUEL SYSTEM.
Provisions are installed for connection to long
range fuel cells.
