each wing. The center tank is contained entirely within the fuselage. The surge
tanks are extensions of the main tanks.
Physical Description
Primary wing structure is used for the airplane fuel tanks. The tanks are located
between the front and rear spars and between the upper and lower wing skin.
Solid ”tank end” ribs closes the ends of each tank, while all other wing ribs act
as fuel baffels to reduce fuel slosh. The center tank is diveded into three cavi-
ties by spanwise beams.
All fuel tanks are fuel thight. Close metal-to-metal fit of all parts forms the ba-
sic seal. Sealing compounds and sealed fasteners are used on all joints to
complete the fluid tight seal. Two of the wing ribs contain a series of baffle
check valves to prevent fuel swapping within the tank and fuel flow away from
the boost pumps during flight.
Access panels on the wing lower surface provide access to each tank. Access
openings in the tank ribs are provided for areas wich are not directly acces-
sibble through the access panels.
For Training Purposes Only
In the left air condition bay is a panel installed in order to access the center
tank.

Physical Description
The access panels in positions No. 1 and No. 2 are molded aluminium honey-
comb. All other wing tank access panels are cast aluminium. The access pan-
els are installed in the tank. The panels are installed by inserting screws
through a clamp ring on the outside, flush with wing panel and threading the
screws into captive nuts in the access panel. A molded rubber seal ring, fitted
into a grove in the panel seal face, supplies a static-type fluid seal between the
access panel and the wing skin. Fuel tank access panels are electrically
bonded to the wing structure by coating the gasket and clamp ring with anticor-
rosion grease.
The center tank has one access panel, wich is located in the left air condition
bay. Each surge tank has two access panels. The No.1 and No. 2 tanks have
12 access panels each. In addition, two smaller panels in each lower wing skin,
permit access to the fuel boost pumps.
Maintenance advice:
Fuel measuring sticks are installed in the fuel tank access panels No.1, 4, 6, 8

General Location
In each tank is one drain valve at the lowest point installed.
Operation
To drain the main tank fuel sump, the poppet is pushed up to open the valve
and let fuel drain through the drain hole in the center of the valve to outboard.
Maintenance Practices
The primary drain O-Ring of the main tank drain valve poppet, can be replaced
without draining or entering the fuel tank by placing the valve in the seal service
positon ( old valve version P/N VD82-2941 ). If it is a new valve ( P/N
87-5273 ) installed, a wrench tool is required in order to replace the O-Rings
by release the valve core plug. The removal of the valve assembly requires
draining and entering the tank.

Description Surge Tank Sump Drain Valves
The sump drain valves for the surge tanks are spring-loaded close, poppet-
type valves flush-mounted in the wing lower skin. A screen over each valve
inlet protects the unit from contaminants.
Operation
To drain a surge tank fuel sump, the poppet is pushed to open the valve and let
fuel drain through the drain hole in the center of the valve to outboard.
Maintenance Practices
The valve has a flapper valve, therefore the poppet valve assembly is remove-
able without draining the fuel tank, by using a wrench tool. The valve poppet is
unscrewed from its housing and installed in a thread sleeve of the lower wing
skin ( be careful during change ).

Location
The drain line is located in the left main wheel well.
Description
The shroud drain consists of a drain line connected to a drain manifold. The
drain manifold contains a flame arrestor and a drain cock. The line terminates
in a drain mast.
Operation
During operation, only moistere drains from the mast. If the APU fuel line is
leaking, fuel drains from the drain mast.
The drain cock is used to check for and drain off any leaking fuel while on the
ground. The drain cock must be closed for flight.

Physical Description can be removed and replaced without removing the manifold.
The manifold consists of a fueling receptacle with a poppet valve, three sole-
noid-controlled fuel pressure operated valves with manual overrides, and four
outlet ports, three of which contain check valves.
Access
The access to the manifold is by opening the fueling station door.
Operation
With the fueling hose connected, a plunger in the hose nozzle opens the pop-
pet valve allowing the fuel to enter the fueling manifold. Fuel through the orifice
enters the chamber above the diaphragm, thus equalizing the pressure across
the diaphragm and the spring keeps the valve closed. When the solenoid is
energized or the manual override plunger pushed and held, fuel pressure
above the diaphragm is relieved and fueling valve opens. Fuel from the man-
ifold proceeds to the respective tank through the check valve.
When the solenoid is de-energized or the manual override is released, pres-
sure is equalized across the diaphragm and the fueling valve closes.
During defueling operation, with the defueling valve open, fuel enters the fuel-
ing manifold and is taken out by a hose through the fueling receptacle.

Operation
If the battery switch is ON, battery provides power to relay R11. If ground
power is used, the Bus Protection Panel TR unit provides power for relay R11.
When the ‘fueling bay door is open, the fueling power switch (or holding the
auxiliary fueling power control switch) provides a ground for relay R11. This will
provide 28 volts dc for fueling bay illumination, press-to-test of valve position
lights and valve position switches.
Placing the valve position switch to OPEN energizes the valve solenoid through
the closed float switch; the blue light is illuminated when solenoid is energized.
When the tank is full, the float switch opens, de-energizing the solenoid, valve
closes and blue light is extinguished.
Fueling can be stopped at any time by placing the valve position switch to

Backup Operation
If dc power is not available, the fueling valve can be opened by the manual
override button next to the solenoid.

DEFUELING
General Operation
The fuel system is designed to permit complete or partial defueling of one or The valve is opened and closed by the use of the red valve handle. When the
more tanks, or to permit fuel transfer to other tanks while the airplane is on valve is open, the access panel can not be closed due to panel/handle interfer-
ground. To do the defueling or fuel transfer, parts of the pressure fueling, en- ence.
gine fuel feed, and defueling systems are used in combination.
There are four differnt procedures in order to defuel the fuel tanks
- Defuel through the pressure fueling receptacle with the airplane boost
pumps and the defueling (suction) pump on the refuel truck. This proce-
dure defuels all of the tanks at the same time. It is the fastet procedure
to defuel the tanks.
- Defuel through the pressure fueling receptacle with the airplane boost
pumps only.
- Defuel through the pressure fueling receptacle with the defueling (suc-
tion) pump on the fuel truck only. Use this procedure only if it is neces-
sary. It is a very slow procedure.
- Defuel through the pressure fueling receptacle with the external power
control unit. For this procedure, it is a special ground support equipment
required.
Manual Defueling Valve
Purpose
The defueling valve is used for defueling of the tanks and for fuel transfer be-
tween the tanks.
Location
The valve is located inboard of the fueling station.
For Training Purposes Only
Physical Description
The valve is a manually operated, sliding gate, semi-submerged unit.
The valve consists of a gate, actuator, and port adapter assemblies. The port
adapter assembly is mounted inside the tank and supports the fuel line. The
gate assembly slides into the adapter from the dry side.
Access
Access to the valve is through a panel inboard of the fueling station.

Location
The circuit components are located in the P5 and P6 panels and in the elec-
tronic equipment compartment.
Physical Description
The scavenge circuit consists of power sources, two center tank boost pump
switches and -relays, M528 Engine Accessory Module and the scavenge fuel
shutoff valve solenoid.
Power
Power supply for the center tank boost pumps is 115 Volt AC and for the con-
trol circuit 28 Volt DC.
Operation
The circuit is designed to energize the scavenge fuel shutoff valve solenoid
whenever both center tank boost pump switches are positioned to off and keep
the solenoid energized for 20 minutes.
A prerequisite to this operation is that one (or both) center tank boost switches,
must be turned on to arm the M528 control logic. If this is not accomplished,
the scavenge fuel shutoff valve solenoid will not be energized even through
both center tank boost pump switches are in the off position.

Location
The capacitance gaging system tank units and compensators are located in-
side the tanks. The measuring sticks are located in main tank access panels.
Main Tank - 12 tank units, 1 compensator, 5 measuring sticks.
Center Tank - 2 tank units, 1 compensator.
Physical Description
Tank Units are hollow coaxial cylindrical capacitors mounted vertically to ribs
inside each fuel tank. Fuel is used as the dielectric. The inner tube is profiled to
correspond to the irregular shape of the inside of the fuel tank. The tank units
are located throughout the tanks so an accurate reading is provided whatever
the attitude of the airplane.
Compensator Units are hollow coaxial cylindrical capacitors mounted verti-
cally to ribs inside each fuel tank at the lowest portion so that the compensator
is always submerged in fuel. The compensator is connected electrically into the
gaging circuit to compensate for the different dielectric constants of fuels of
differing chemical compositions.
The tank units are connected together in parallel. The wiring harness from each

main tank is connected to a bussing plug located in the front spar of the wing.
The center tank bussing plug is located on the forward wall of the left main
wheel well.
The TSDs (Transient Suppression Devices) suppress electrical transients,
preventig them from reaching the FQIS wiring and components inside the fuel
tanks.
Drip Sticks are calibrated tubes which can be pulled down for reading of fuel

indicator.
A single chip microcomputer system within the indicator performs the measure-
ment of the current through the tank units. The microcomputer converts the
capacitance current to a radial and a digital readout of fuel quantity.
The microcomputer monitors the fuel quantity indicating system and provides
an error indication and code to assist in troubleshooting.

ing obtained by measuring sticks.
Location
There are five measuring sticks for each main tank, located in wing fuel tank
access panels No. 1, 4, 6, 8, and 10.
Physical Description
The measuring stick consists of a fiberglass tube in a housing attached to the
access panel. The tube is graduated in inches, gallons or kilograms, (a cus-
tomer option). At the side of the housing is a removal valve, which allows stick
removal without defueling.
Operation
To determine the fuel quantity in the tank, the measuring stick is unlocked and
slowly lowered until the fuel enters the upper end of the stick and drips out of
the lower end. The drip hole is marked on the base of the measuring stick with
a red arrow.
Tables of capacities, corrected for airplane attitude, are found in the measuring
stick document.
Maintenance Practices
For Training Purposes Only
The sticks can be removed without defueling the tanks. Removal of 3 retaining
screws allows the stick assembly to be pulled out from the access panel.
General
You can refuel a tank with a fuel quantity indicating system that does not ope-
rate correctly (a bad indicator). You can do this task with the fuel measuring
sticks in the No. 1 tank or the No. 2 tank. You must also use the applicable do-
cument to calculate the fuel quantity from the values on the fuel measuring
sticks. You must move fuel from a different tank if you must refuel the center

Location
The indicator is located on the P5 panel.
Physical Description
The fuel temperature indicator is resistance ratiometer-type unit. It consists of
a no-power sweep-off coil, deflection coil, cabin temperature compensator, dial
calibrated from -56°C to 56°C and integral lights.
Power
Power supply is 28 Volt AC.
Operation
The indicator rectifies the ac power to dc and applies it to the metering circuits
through an electromagnetic sweep-off mechanism. This forces the meter to
respond to the coil torques. The indicator applies a voltage to the temperature
bulb and the resulting current is a measure of the fuel temperature. With power
off, the pointer remains off scale at the low temperature end.
