The center tank is located in the fuselage. The inner tanks are located in the wings. and the outer tanks are located in the wings. FUEL MENU System Presentation 6/35

The total usable fuel quantity is approximately 19000 kg (standard density). 19000 kg FUEL MENU System Presentation 7/35

FUEL PUMPS FUEL MENU System Presentation 8/35

Two fuel pumps are installed in the center tank. And two fuel pumps are installed in each inner tank. FUEL PUMPS FUEL MENU System Presentation 9/35

Two transfer valves allow fuel to transfer from the outer tanks to the inner tanks. TRANSFER VALVE FUEL TRANSFER VALVE MENU System Presentation 10/35

ENG 1 ENG 2 APU LEFT CTR RIGHT You can see that all the components we have talked about are displayed on the ECAM page. Let’s briefly review the basic system using the ECAM FUEL page. FUEL MENU System Presentation 18/35

• The center tank in the fuselage, • the inner tanks in the wings, • the outer tanks in the wings, FUEL MENU System Presentation 19/35

• the fuel pumps, • the transfer valves, FUEL MENU System Presentation 20/35

• the engine LP valves, • the crossfeed valve, • the APU LP valve. FUEL MENU System Presentation 21/35

For the purpose of clarity, we have left out some indications. Click on ECAM page display them. FUEL MENU System Presentation the to 22/35

These indications are : - Outer tank fuel quantity, FUEL MENU System Presentation 23/35

These indications are : - Outer tank fuel quantity, - inner tank fuel quantity, FUEL MENU System Presentation 24/35

These indications are : - Outer tank fuel quantity, - inner tank fuel quantity, - center tank fuel quantity, FUEL MENU System Presentation 25/35

The FUEL panel is located on the overhead panel. FUEL MENU System Presentation 30/35

Each wing tank pump is controlled by its associated pb sw on the FUEL panel. FUEL MENU System Presentation 31/35

Each center tank pump is controlled by its respective pb sw. FUEL MENU System Presentation 32/35

The MODE SEL pb sw enables the pilot to run the two center tank pumps in automatic or manual mode. This will be explained in detail in the normal and abnormal operation modules. FUEL MENU System Presentation 33/35

The X FEED pb sw enables the pilot to connect or isolate the left and right sides of the fuel system. FUEL MENU System Presentation 34/35

Once again, you will operate all these controls and see the associated indications in the normal and abnormal operation modules. Module completed FUEL MENU System Presentation 35/35 NEXT
