tank cover, adjacent to the filler neck. A small sight
window in the upper wing skin permits observation of the
gage.
e.
Fuel Management Panel. The fuel management
panel is located in the cockpit overhead between the
pilot and copilot. It contains the fuel gages, standby fuel
pump switches, crossfeed valve switch, fuel gaging
system control switch, and transfer control switches.
(1
Fuel gaging system control switch. A
switch on the fuel management panel (fig. 2-16)
placarded FUEL QUANTITY, MAIN - AUXILIARY,
controls the fuel gaging system. When in the MAIN
position the fuel gages read the total fuel quantity in the
left and right wing fuel system. When in the AUXILIARY
position the fuel gages read the fuel quantity in the left
and right auxiliary tanks only.
(2)
Standby fuel pump switches. Two
switches, placarded STANDBY PUMP - ON, located in
the fuel management panel (fig. 2-16), individually
control a submerged fuel pump located in the
corresponding nacelle tank. During normal aircraft
operation both switches should be OFF, so long as the
engine-driven fuel pumps are operative.
NOTE
Both standby pump switches shall be
off during crossfeed operation. The
loss of fuel pressure due to failure of
an engine driven boost pump, will
illuminate
the
MASTER
WARNING
annunciators on the glareshield, and
will illuminate the respective #1 FUEL
PRESS
or
#2
FUEL
PRESS
annunciator
on
the
warning
annunciator panel. Turning on the
STANDBY PUMP will extinguish the
FUEL
PRESS
annunciator.
The
MASTER WARNING annunciators must
be manually reset.
(3)
Fuel transfer control switches. Two
switches on the fuel management panel (fig. 2-16),
placarded AUX XFER OVRD - AUTO individually 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 the MASTER CAUTION
annunciators
on
the
glareshield
and
a
steadily
illuminated amber #1 NO FUEL XFR or #2 NO FUEL
XFR annunciator on the caution annunciator panel.

Fuel crossfeed switch. The fuel crossfeed
valve is controlled by a 3-position switch (fig. 2-16),
located in the fuel management panel, placarded
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 control 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 CROSSFEED annunciator on
the caution/ advisory panel will illuminate. Crossfeed
system operation is described in Chapter 9. The
crossfeed valve is protected by a 5-ampere circuit
breaker
placarded
CROSSFEED
located
in
the
overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-6).
