A Quiz On Fuel For Pros

When the fuel transfer switch is engaged, all of the mentioned actions occur. The fuel transfer solenoid valve is energized, allowing fuel to flow from one tank to another. This is indicated by the FUEL TRANSFER light illuminating. Additionally, the transferring side standby pump is energized, assisting in the transfer of fuel. Therefore, all the given options are correct and occur when the fuel transfer switch is engaged.

The statement suggests that the Aux Tank will gravity feed into the collector tank, but this is not true. The correct answer is false because gravity feeding requires a higher tank to be placed above the lower tank to allow the flow of liquid through gravity. In this case, there is no mention of a higher tank, so it is not possible for the Aux Tank to gravity feed into the collector tank.

The correct answer is that all of the above are correct. If the R NO FUEL XFR annunicator illuminates, it could indicate that the aux pump has failed if the switch is in the ON position. It could also mean that the aux tank is empty if the switch is in the ON position. Additionally, it could suggest that the aux pump may be inoperative if the switch is in the auto position. Therefore, all of these possibilities are correct explanations for the illuminated annunicator.

The standby fuel pumps are located in the respective collector tank. This means that each collector tank has its own standby fuel pump. The collector tank is a part of the fuel system where fuel from different sources is collected before being distributed to the engines. By having a standby fuel pump in each collector tank, there is redundancy in the system, ensuring that fuel can still be pumped to the engines even if one pump fails.

The engine operation with the L/R FUEL PRESSURE annunciator illuminated is limited to 10 hours of operation. This means that the aircraft can continue to operate with the illuminated annunciator for a maximum of 10 hours before further action or maintenance is required. This limitation ensures that the aircraft can still be operated safely for a certain period of time despite the fuel pressure issue.

Transfer jet pumps operate by using a motive flow. This means that they use the flow of a liquid or gas to create suction and transfer another liquid or gas. The motive flow creates a pressure difference that allows the pump to move the fluid or gas from one place to another. This method of operation is commonly used in applications where there is a need to transfer fluids or gases without the use of external power sources.

The fuel flow gauges in the BE-1900B/C are DC powered, meaning they receive their power from the direct current electrical system of the aircraft. This suggests that they do not rely on alternating current or self-generation for their power source. Additionally, being DC powered implies that the gauges are likely more reliable and consistent in their readings, as they are not subject to fluctuations or interruptions in power supply that can occur with AC or self-generating systems.

The standby boost pump is automatically energized by the activation of the ignition and engine start switch and also by the cross transfer of fuel. When the ignition and engine start switch is activated, it triggers the standby boost pump to start. Additionally, during cross transfer of fuel, the standby boost pump is also automatically energized to ensure proper fuel transfer. Therefore, both options A and B are correct.

If the engine driven high boost pump fails, it means that there is no longer a source of high pressure fuel being supplied to the engine. Without this fuel supply, the engine will not be able to function properly and will eventually fail. The other options mentioned, such as turning on the standby pump or relying on the low pressure pump, may help in temporarily mitigating the issue but they will not be sufficient to keep the engine running in the long term.

The correct answer is that all of the above are correct. This means that all three statements mentioned - the limitation of 150 hours of operation before engine overhaul, the altitude restriction of 15000 feet, and the requirement of both standby pumps to be operative - are limitations when using AVGAS.

The correct answer indicates that if the L FW VALVE annunicator is illuminated, it means that the firewall valve is not in the selected position. This suggests that the valve may be in a different position than what is desired or required, potentially causing a malfunction or failure in the system it controls.

If a fuel quantity gauge is indicating in the yellow arc, it means that the fuel level is in a cautionary range. This indicates that the fuel quantity is low and may not be sufficient for a safe takeoff. Therefore, it is not recommended to take off in this situation to avoid potential fuel shortage during the flight.

The failure of the electric standby pump will result in the inability to cross transfer fuel to the opposite wing. This means that the fuel cannot be transferred from one wing to the other, which could lead to an imbalance in fuel distribution and potentially affect the aircraft's performance and stability.

The L/R firewall shutoff valve is located on the Hot Battery Bus.

The illumination of the L/R FUEL PRESS annunicator indicates that all of the given options are correct. It could mean that the engine driven boost pump has failed, resulting in a loss of motive flow. It could also indicate that there has been a loss of motive flow, causing the high pressure pump to "suction" fuel. Therefore, all of the given options are valid explanations for the illumination of the annunicator.
