UH-60A/L Fuel System

Components
• Main Fuel Cell (2x)
• Fuel Lines
• Fuel Selectors
• Fuel Cell Boost Pump (2x)
• Prime Boost Pump
• 30 Micron Fuel Filter (2x)
• Engine Driven Fuel Pump (2x)
• Hydromechanical Unit (2x)
• POU/ODV
• Oil Cooler (2x)
 Fuel Cell
• 181 Gallon Capacity Ballistic Tolerant Self-
Sealing Rubber Compound W/Nylon
Filament
• High-Level Shut-Off Valve
• Low-Level Shut-Off Valve
• Pressure Refuel/de-fuel Valve
• Fuel Quantity & Low Level Sensor
• Cell Vents
 Fuel Lines
• The fuel lines are self-sealing, and have
self-sealing, breakaway-type valves.
These prevent the loss of fuel in the event
of a crash or if the lines are severed.
• Check valves to prevent loss of engine
prime.
• Fuel selector valves.
 Fuel Selectors
• Two fuel selectors in the engine control
quadrant
• Connected by low friction push-pull cables
• Off, dir(direct), XFD (cross-feed) positions
– Fuel from no. 1 tank to no. 1 engine
– Fuel from no. 2 tank to no. 2 engine
– Fuel from either tank to supply both engines
– Fuel from either tank to supply opposite
engine.
 Fuel Boost Pump
• Electrically-operated submerged
• Provide pressurized fuel to the engine fuel
inlet port
• Two position switch
• Pressure activated pump-on advisory
light(25 psi)
• Check valve to prevent loss of engine
prime
 Prime Boost Pump
• Located in front of the no 1 fuel cell
component plate.
• Controlled by the PRIME BOOST PUMP
switch on the upper console.
• 5 psi rated output.
 Fuel Filter
• 30 micron replaceable filter
• Impending bypass indicator (LRB)
 Engine Driven Boost Pump
• Mounted on the Engine Accessory
Module.
• Negative (suction) 6-8 psi.
• Positive 45-90 psi output.
 Hydromechanical Unit
• Main Fuel Control Device.
• Mounted on the rear of the engine
accessory gear box.
• Contains high pressure (832 psi) pump to
deliver fuel to POU/ODV.
• Also controls Inlet Guide Vanes and
engine Anti-Ice/Start Bleed Valve
 POU
• On the left aft side of the engine accessory
module
• Fuel to primer nozzles and main fuel injectors for
engine start and operation
• Purges fuel from primer nozzles
• Drains main fuel manifold
• Reduces fuel flow to prevent engine overspeed

ODV
The ODV replaces the POU with the same functions, in
•Sends fuel through the main fuel manifold to the injecto
•Shuts off fuel flow to prevent an overspeed condition
•Shuts off fuel to prevent a hot start
•Purges fuel injectors on shutdown
 Oil Cooler
• The Oil Cooler is a heat exchange unit that
cools engine oil and pre-heats the fuel for
better atomization the ensure proper
ignition and burn.
 L Model
• Hot Start Prevention
• Np Overspeed Protection System
• Fuel Burn Rates
