Q

Functions of the ODV

A
  1. Provides fuel to the 12 fuel injectors
  2. Purges fuel overboard after engine shutdown to prevent coking of the injectors
  3. Traps fuel upstream in the fuel/oil heat exchanger to prevent the need for priming
  4. Returns fuel back to the HMU in event of Np overspeed
