(2.) Standby fuel pump switches. T w o
switches, placarded STANDBY PUMP - ON located
on the fuel management panel (fig. 2-14) control a
submerged fuel pump located in the corresponding
nacelle tank. During normal aircraft operation both
switches are off so long as the engine-driven boost
pumps function and during crossfeed operation. The
loss of fuel pressure, due to failure of an engine
driven boost pump will illuminate the MASTER
WARNING lights on the glareshield and will illumi-
nate the No. 1 FUEL PRESS or No. 2 FUEL PRESS
on the warning annunciator panel. Turning ON the
STANDBY PUMP will extinguish the FUEL PRESS
lights. The MASTER WARNING lights must be
manually cleared.
NOTE
Both standby pump switches shall be off
during crossfeed operation.
(3.) Fuel transfer control switches. Two
switches on the fuel management panel (fig. 2-14),
placarded AUX TRANSFER OVERRIDE - AUTO
control operation of the fuel transfer pumps During
normal operation both switches are in AUTO which
allows the system to be automatically actuated by
fuel flow to the engine. If either transfer system fails
to operate, the fault condition is indicated by two
illuminated MASTER CAUTION lights on the
glareshield and a steadily illuminated yellow No. 1
NO FUEL XFR or No. 2 NO FUEL XFR light on
the caution annunciator panel.
(4.) Fuel crossfeed switch. The fuel cross-
feed valve is controlled by a 3-position switch (fig.
2-14), located on the fuel management panel, plac-
arded CROSSFEED - OFF. Under normal flight
conditions the switch is left in the OFF position.
During emergency single engine operation, it may
become necessary to supply fuel to the operative
engine from the fuel system on the opposite side.
The crossfeed system is placarded for fuel selection
with a simplified diagram on the overhead fuel con-
trol panel. Place the standby fuel pump switches in
the off position when crossfeeding. A lever lock
switch, placarded CROSSFEED, is moved from the
center OFF position to the left or to the right,
depending on direction of fuel flow. This opens the
crossfeed valve and energizes the standby pump on
the side from which crossfeed is desired. During
crossfeed operation with firewall fuel valve closed,
auxiliary tank fuel will not crossfeed. When the
crossfeed mode is energized, a green FUEL CROSS-
FEED light on the caution/advisory panel will illu-
minate. Crossfeed system operation is described in
Chapter 9. The crossfeed valve is protected by a
5-ampere circuit breaker placarded CROSSFEED
TM 55-1510-221-10
located on the overhead circuit breaker panel (fig.
2-26).
f. Firewall Shutoff Valves.
Do not use the fuel firewall shutoff valve
to shut down an engine, except in an
emergency.
The engine-driven high-
pressure fuel pump obtains essential
lubrication from fuel flow. When an
engine is operating, this pump may be
severely damaged (while cavitating) if the
firewall valve is closed before the condi-
tion lever is moved to the FUEL CUT-
OFF position.
The fuel system incorporates a fuel line shutoff
valve mounted on each engine firewall. The firewall
shutoff valves close automatically when the fire
extinguisher T-handles on the instrument panel are
pulled out. The firewall shutoff valves receive elec-
trical power from the main buses and also from the
hot battery bus which is connected directly to the
battery. The valves are protected by circuit breakers
placarded FIREWALL VALVE No. 1 or No. 2 on the
overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-26) and
FIREWALL SHUTOFF No. 1 or No. 2 on the hot
battery bus circuit breaker board.
g. Fuel Tank Sump Drains. A sump drain
wrench is provided in the aircraft loose tools to sim-
plify draining a small amount of fuel from the sump
drain.
(1.) There are five sump drains and one
filter drain in each wing (Table 2-3).
(2.) An additional drain for the extended
range fuel system line extends through the bottom of
the wing center section adjacent to the fuselage.
Anytime the extended range system is in use, a part
of the preflight inspection would consist of 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 Drain Collector System. Each engine is
provided with a fuel drain collector system to return
fuel dumped from the engine during clearing and
shutdown operations back into its respective nacelle
tank. The system draws power from the No. 4 feeder
bus. Fuel transfer is completely automatic. Fuel
from the engine flow divider drains into a collector
tank mounted below the aft engine accessory sec-
