Zoran:
Refueling Procedure: Proceed as follows until your intended amount of fuel is reached: 1. Load all main tanks equally. (4 x 15,500 lbs = 62,000 lbs = 62,000 lbs) 2. After #1 and #4 main tanks are full, continue to load #2 and #3 main tanks. (+ 2 x 11,760 lbs = 23,500 lbs = 85,500 lbs) 3. After all main tanks are full, load reserve tanks. (+ 2 x 2,900 lbs = 5,800 lbs = 91,300 lbs) 4. After all wing tanks are full, load the center tank. (+ 1 x 68,300 lbs = 68,300 lbs = 159,600 lbs) Fuel Management: Check periodically: IF Center Tank exceeds 20,000 lbs AND less than 12,000 lbs of total fuel consumed THEN “Center Tank to Outboard Engines, Main Tanks to Inboard Engines”: - Boost Pump Switches in Main Tanks 1, 2, 3, 4 & Center Tank....ON - Crossfeed Selectors No. 2 & 3....CLOSE - Crossfeed Selectors No. 1 & 4....OPEN ELSE IF Center Tank contains less than 20,000 lbs OR 12,000 lbs or more consumed THEN “Center Tank to All Engines”: - Crossfeed Selectors No. 1, 2, 3 & 4....OPEN - Boost Pump Switches for tanks No. 1, 2, 3, 4 & Center....ON ELSE (Center Tank empty) IF Fuel amount in Inboard Tanks > Fuel amount in Outboard Tanks + Reserve Tanks THEN balance main tanks: "Inboard Tanks to all Engines" - Crossfeed Selectors No. 1, 2, 3 & 4....OPEN - Reserve Tank Transfer Valves No. 1 & 2....OPEN as soon as Tank No. 1 ( No. 4) can take in whole content of left (right) reserve tank - Boost Pump Switches for tanks No. 1, 4 and Center....OFF - Boost Pump Switches for tanks No. 2 & 3....ON - 2nd Boost Pump Switch for Tank No. 2 or 3, whichever has less fuel....OFF for balancing - Center Tank Boost Pumps....OFF ELSE IF Inboard Tanks = Outboards + Reserves: THEN “Each Main Tank to its Engine”: - Boost Pump Switches in Main Tanks No. 1, 2, 3 & 4....ON - Center Tank Boost Pumps....OFF - Crossfeed Selectors No. 1....OPEN - Crossfeed Selectors No. 2, 3 & 4 ....CLOSE Best regards Alex |
