A

ANTI DETONATION RATING OR OCTANE NUMBER OF A FUEL

31
Q

it is used to help scavenge lead deposits left from Te L, this converts led oxides into volatile lead bromides that are scavenged with exhaust gases

A

ETHYLENE DIBROMIDE

It is a pressure of the air aboce the fuel that is needed to hold the vapors in liquid form or to keep it from boiling off.

A

VAPOR PRESSURE

33

Aviation gasoline vapor pressure cannot exceed (?) lbs/in2.

A

7 lbs/in2

34
Q

is a major concern to a every aviation technician.

A

FUEL CONTAMINATION

35
Q

needed to prevent watee rust or dirt from reaching the aircraft fuel system from storage tanks.

A

FILTERS AND FUEL TANKERS

36
Q

Sufficient fuel must be drained from all aircraft (?) to be sure there is no water in the tanks.

A

tank sums and strainers

37
Q

When fueling an aircraft be sure the (?) has not picked up any dirt that can be transferred to the airplane.

A

nozzle

38
Q

One of the main secrets of successful fueling is to (?).

A

keep the fuel clean.

39
Q

(?) commonly used in our modern lower powered aircraft engine.

A

FLOAT CARBURATOR

40
Q

the heart of carburator

A

VENTURI

41
Q

this specially shaped restrictor located in the air iblet to the engine speeds up the air as it passed through as tye velocity increases the pressure of the most narrow point deacreases.

A

VENTURI

42
Q

this narrow point of the venturi.

causes amount of fuel flowing through the metering jet to be determined by the difference in pressure between the float ball and in pressure nozzle.

A

Fuel Discharger Nozzle

43
Q

To control the amount of air flowing into the engine a (?) is installed in the air passage immeadiately after venturi.

A

disc type butterfly valve

44
Q

this valve is actuated by the throttle control located in the cockpit.

A

disc type butterfly valve

45
Q

To limit the fuel flow in any one position of the throttle valve ghe main metering jet uses an (?).

A

Orifice

46
Q

(?) which introduces a measured amount of air into the stream of fuel between the main metering jet and the discharger nozzle.

A

Main Air Blade

47
Q

This is used to break up the liquid fu into tiny bubbles so it will fully vaporize as it mixes with the induction air.

A

Main Air Blade

48
Q

To control the correct amount of air entering the idling fuel just aftwr it passes through the idle jet an (?).

A

Idle Air Blade

49
Q

is used this allows the proper mixture of air and fuel to be drawn up through the emulsion tube and discharged in the air through the idle discharge.

A

Idle Air Blade

50
Q

Two separate systems for float carburators:

A

Idling System
Cruise System

51
Q

(?) is determined by the # of lbs of fuel and air that are burned in its cylinders.

Q

2 Types of Carburetors

A

Float-Type Carburetors
Pressure-Type Caburetors

55
Q
  • measures amount of air.
  • meters proper amount of fuel.
  • maintains mixture ratios.
    -enriches the mixture.
A

FUEL METERING SYSTEM

56
Q

Both (1) and (2) minimize icing and improve mixture distribution.

A
  1. Pressure Carburetors
  2. Fuel Injection Systems
57
Q

is a closed fuel metering system with no point open to the atmosphere between the tank and the discharge nozzle.

A

Pressure Carburetor

58
Q

Fuel is drawn from the tank pressurized by a (?) metered by the carburetor and sprayed into the induction air.

A

pump

59
Q

Both act on a diaphragm to cause it to open a poppet valve.

A

Venturi Pressure
Impact Pressure

60
Q

When it becomes necessary to lean the mixture the (?) is merely pulled out, this pulls on a tapered needle located in a passage between the two sidws of the diaphragm.

A

Manual Mixture Control

61
Q

Types of Pressure Carburetors:

A

Manual Mixture Control
Automatic Mixture Control

62
Q

(?) employs a reverse tapered needlw valve operated by an evacuated bellows as the air density decreases these bellows expand to force the needlw to open the passage between the two chambers and automatically maintain the fuel air mixture ratio set by the pilot.

A

Automatic Mixture Control

63
Q

(?) is used to force additional fuel through the discharge nozzle.

A

Acceleration Pump

64
Q

it sucks the fuel to booster pump through the engine.

A

Low Pressure Pump

65
Q

it pushes the fuel through the engine.

A

Booster Pump

66
Q

pump that drive by the engine or in the oxiliary box.

A

Engine-Driven Pump

67
Q

the second type of metering is a (?) this uses a step-cut idle valve when the throttle is in the idle position this valve is almost closed by the larger taper on the needle during cruise the crews step of the needle restricts the flow but for full power this needle is completely withdrawn from the orifice creating an opening larger than the main metering jet which will do the actual metering.

A

manual power enrichment system

68
Q

(?) improves fuel/air mixture distribution.

A

Fuel Injection Systems

69
Q

(?) is designed to limit the amount of air flowing into the engine this slows the engine rpm to idle at the same time the length of the connector between the air vaive and the fuel valve controls the amount of fuel that can flow providing the proper mixture for idling.

A

Throttle Air Valve Stop

70
Q

(?) WILL INDICATE AN INCREASE OF FLOW.

A

CLOGGED INJECTOR NOZZLE

71
Q

(?) to measure the difference in pressure between the metered fuel and discharged air pressure.

A

Differential Pressure Gauge

72
Q

the main benefit of fuel injection systems over (?) is that they provide a uniform mixture distribution .

A

carburetors

73
Q

(?) high pump discharge pressure.

A

74
Q

(?) low pump discharge pressure.

A

LARGE ORIFICE
