Wing tanks are
- A.
  
  Bladder-type tanks that conform to the vacant cavity within the wing.
- B.
  
  Lightweight, aluminum tanks inserted into empty wing cavities
- C.
  
  Sealed-off parts of the wing structure
- D.
  
  Soft, malleable plastic tanks.
Correct Answer
C. Sealed-off parts of the wing structure

Explanation
The correct answer is "sealed-off parts of the wing structure". Wing tanks are sealed-off compartments within the wing structure that are used to store fuel. They are not bladder-type tanks or lightweight aluminum tanks inserted into empty wing cavities. The term "soft, malleable plastic tanks" does not accurately describe wing tanks. Therefore, the correct answer is that wing tanks are sealed-off parts of the wing structure.

  When the output volume of the pump must be in direct proportion to its speed.
Correct Answer
A. For boost, transfer, or air refueling operations

Explanation
A centrifugal-type aircraft fuel pump may be used for boost, transfer, or air refueling operations because it is capable of delivering fuel at high pressure and flow rates, which are necessary for these operations. The centrifugal design of the pump allows it to generate the required pressure by using centrifugal force to push the fuel outward. Additionally, the absence of moving parts in the pump reduces the risk of mechanical failure, making it suitable for use in various operational scenarios.

- D.
  
  Centrifugal pump with electrically driven, direct current (DC), series-wound motor.
Correct Answer
D. Centrifugal pump with electrically driven, direct current (DC), series-wound motor.

Explanation
A centrifugal pump with an electrically driven, direct current (DC), series-wound motor must have a fuel- and vapor-proof housing because it is used to pump fuel. This type of pump is commonly used in automotive applications and needs to be able to handle fuel and prevent any leakage or vapor escape, which could be dangerous. A fuel- and vapor-proof housing ensures that the pump operates safely and efficiently without any risk of fuel leakage or vapor emissions.

  Rotary-vane.
- B.
  
  Top-mounted.
- C.
  
  Dual-impeller.
- D.
  
  In-line ejector.
Correct Answer
C. Dual-impeller.

Explanation
A dual-impeller centrifugal pump is used when a fuel supply is required during periods of negative gravity conditions. This type of pump is designed with two impellers that work together to provide a continuous flow of fuel even in situations where gravity is working against the flow. The dual-impeller design allows for efficient pumping and ensures a reliable fuel supply in challenging conditions.

In a dual-impeller fuel pump what prevents foreign objects from holding the bypass valve open?
- A.
  
  An inlet screen.
- B.
  
  An impeller screen.
- C.
  
  A one-way check valve
- D.
  
  A two-way check valve.
Correct Answer
A. An inlet screen.

Explanation
An inlet screen prevents foreign objects from holding the bypass valve open in a dual-impeller fuel pump. This screen acts as a filter, allowing only fuel to pass through while blocking any debris or foreign objects that could potentially interfere with the bypass valve. By keeping the bypass valve free from obstruction, the inlet screen ensures proper functioning of the fuel pump and prevents any potential damage or malfunction caused by foreign objects.

What air refueling pump components depend on fuel for lubrication?
- A.
  
  Rotors
- B.
  
  Stators.
- C.
  
  Bearings.
- D.
  
  Impellers.
Correct Answer
C. Bearings.

Explanation
Bearings in an air refueling pump depend on fuel for lubrication. Bearings are components that support the rotating parts of the pump, allowing them to move smoothly. In this case, the bearings rely on the fuel to provide lubrication, reducing friction and preventing damage to the pump's moving parts. The other components mentioned, such as rotors, stators, and impellers, may also be present in an air refueling pump, but they do not specifically require fuel for lubrication.

What air refueling pump component removes fuel vapors caused by the centrifugal force of the impellers?
- A.
  
  Rotor.
- B.
  
  Stator.
- C.
  
  Accumulator.
- D.
  
  Vapor relief valve
Correct Answer
A. Rotor.

Explanation
The rotor is the component in an air refueling pump that removes fuel vapors caused by the centrifugal force of the impellers. The impellers create the centrifugal force, which pushes the fuel towards the outer edges of the pump. The rotor then captures and removes any fuel vapors that are generated during this process. This helps to ensure that the fuel being transferred is free from any vapors, which could potentially cause issues during the refueling process.

- C.
  
  Location of the drilled hole in the valve.
- D.
  
  Location of the manufacturer’s data block.
Correct Answer
A. Direction of free flow.

Explanation
The arrow stamped on the body of a fuel system check valve indicates the direction of free flow. This means that when fuel flows through the valve, it will follow the direction of the arrow. This is important for proper functioning of the fuel system, as it ensures that fuel is flowing in the correct direction and prevents any blockages or restrictions in the flow.

A pressure-loaded fuel system check valve is used
- A.
  
  When a reverse flow of fuel is desired.
- B.
  
  To prevent the pump from overspeeding
- C.
  
  When gravity flow through the valve is undesirable.
- D.
  
  To prevent excessive pressures when the pump overspeeds
Correct Answer
C. When gravity flow through the valve is undesirable.

Explanation
A pressure-loaded fuel system check valve is used when gravity flow through the valve is undesirable. This means that the valve is designed to prevent fuel from flowing back due to gravity when it is not desired. This could be the case when the fuel needs to be directed to a specific location or when the fuel flow needs to be regulated in a certain way. The valve ensures that the fuel only flows in the desired direction and prevents any backflow caused by gravity.
