25
Both shutoff valves are located on the _______ behind the ______________.
- bulkhead | - main transmission
26
There are __ airframe mounted fuel filters. The filters remove contaminants from the fuel prior to delivery to the respective fuel control unit. Each filter has __________ provisions to assure fuel flow to the engine if the filter becomes clogged.
- 2 | - internal bypass
27
``` Each main fuel switch has an ON and OFF position. a. ON position 1) Opens respective engine's _________ valve. 2) Turns on both engines' _______ pumps. 3) Energizes engine __________. 4) Energizes ______________. b. OFF Position 1) Closes respective engine's fuel __________. 2) Allows both _____ pumps to continue to run until both Main Fuel switches are switched to OFF. ```
ON: - fuel shutoff - boost - ignition circuits - fuel control sense line heaters OFF: - shutoff valve - boost
28
``` There are 3 positions for each aux fuel xfr pump switch: a. FWD position: Not used b. OFF position: Aux fuel transfer pump off c. AFT position: Aux fuel transfer pump ________ ```
energized
29
The ___________ displays the amount of fuel in the main tanks. There are __ probes in the main tanks that provide readings.
- Fuel Quantity Indicator (FQI) | - 5
30
Each bar segment in the FQI is equal to ___
10%
31
The R LOW and/or L LOW caution lights on the fuel system caution panel are activated by 2 low-level sensors, 1 in the aft section of each underfloor cell. These caution lights indicate that _________ of fuel remain in the respective aft compartment underfloor cell.
160 +/- 40 lbs
32
T/F: The auxiliary fuel tanks have a fuel gauge mounted on the instrument panel.
False
33
Aux Fuel Transfer Normal Operations: Fuel transfers at: a. _____ with 1 pump on b. _____ with both pumps on Fuel line diameter limits the transfer rate to _____ when both pumps are operating.
- 25 Ppm - 40 Ppm - 40 Ppm
34
___________ in the aft center main fuel cell actuate the transfer pump(s) and prevent the main fuel cells from overfilling when the transfer pump(s) are on.
Fuel level sensors
35
The fuel level sensors cycle the selected transfer pump(s) on and off. a. On at __________ b. Off at __________
- 1,130±50 lbs | - 1,290±50 lbs
36
When the AUX FUEL LOW/AUX LOW lights illuminate, switch selected pump to OFF. Approximately ___ gal of fuel will remain in the unselected tank due to interconnect line placement. Select this tank's aux fuel transfer pump to transfer the remaining __ gal to the main tank.

forward
38
Which switch would you press to test the fuel system caution panel lights?
LAMP TEST switch
39
Which switch would you press to test the LCD on the FQI gauge?
BIT switch
40
A fuel imbalance may be caused by:
1. Boost pump failure Fuel is not being pumped from the underfloor cell. 2. Ejector pump malfunction Fuel is not being pumped over the baffle to the rear portion of the cell. 3. Flapper valve failure Fuel is not able to pass through baffle to the aft section of the cell. 4. Blocked interconnect line Blocked line prevents equalization of fuel between the underfloor cells and proper gravity feeding of fuel within the cells.
41
Fuel Imbalance - Corrective Action: 1. Set airspeed to ________ and _________. 2. If condition persists: Land _____________.
- 70 to 80 KIAS/level attitude | - as soon as practical
42
