FUEL MANAGEMENT (SYSTEM)
GENERAL:
On unmodified airplanes fuel is supplied to each engine by an engine driven fuel pump
and one master booster pump which draws fuel from either the main reserve or
dropable
tank depending on the setting of the selector valve. (An additional booster pump for the
outer wing tank is installed on airplanes equipped with these tanks). On modified
airplanes, fuel is supplied to each engine by an engine driven fuel pump and an
individual booster pump for each tank. The dropable tanks on modified airplanes arc
also pressurized to five to seven pounds per square inch.
