FUEL FILLER
The fuel system filler port is located on
the
right side of the helicopter, above the
wing, and an electrical ground receptacle
for the fuel nozzle is provided nearby. The
filler cap is attached to the port by a hinge
to prevent its loss. The "Lift and Turn"
operating mechanism features an extended
lever which reduces the effort required to
open and close the cap. A raised internal
lip, just
inside the fill port, aids in the
prevention of spillage. Any fuel overflow
is directed to the rear by a gutter just above
the wing / fuselage joint.
The Bell 430 basic fuel system can be
refuelled through its' single filler port at
the
maximum flow rate of 114 liters per
minute (30 U.S.Gallons per minute).
REFUELLING
A fuel temperature sensor is located in the
No.2 (left) prime pump assembly. The
sensor provides data to the IIDS, which
displays fuel temperature on the START
PAGE. The display indicates across a range
of 27 to 60°C (80 to 140°F). The use of
alternate fuels at various pressure altitudes
and temperatures is subject to limitations
specified in the approved flight manual.
FUEL TEMPERATURE
FUEL QUANTITY
There is a fuel quantity probe in each
feed tank, and in each side of the center
tank. The combined signals of the four
probes are provided to the IIDS, which
displays the left, right and total quantity.
The quantity indicating system is self
compensating for JET-A or JET-B type
fuel.
