Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance

Suction defuelling can be accomplished with a fuel truck defuelling pump through the pressure fuelling receptacle. Suction defuelling can also be accomplished by inserting a suction hose through the overwing fill ports, but this method is only recommended as a last resort. Aircraft system pumps and suction defuelling performed simultaneously through the pressure fuelling receptacle will provide the highest flow rates possible and should be used when time is critical.

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance

CONT

Pressure fueling shutoff valves are installed between the fueling manifold and its branch lines. The branch lines direct fuel into each fuel tank. The pressure fueling shutoff valves control the flow of fuel from the fueling manifold to its branch lines. A defueling valve connects the engine fuel feed manifold with the pressure fueling manifold.

CONT

The transfer element ... supplies fuel from the fuselage bladder cell through the pressure fueling manifold to the wing tanks.

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

Defuelling ... This is a special and infrequent operation for which the personnel involved, including any flight crew, should be careful to refer to the necessary procedural documentation. Fuel removed from aircraft tanks may not be re-used and must be offloaded into a dedicated de-fuelling tanker/bowser.

Key term(s)
  • de-fueling

French

Domaine(s)

CONT

Vidange du carburant des aéronefs. L’autorité aéroportuaire doit conclure des arrangements avec les compagnies pétrolières locales pour l'exécution de la vidange, du stockage et de la mise au rebut du carburant, y compris le carburant contaminé, d'un aéronef immobilisé afin de faciliter son enlèvement.

Record 8 2012-09-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

Aircraft refuelling and defuelling is controlled by a separate subsystem within the overall fuel system. The aircraft is fuelled by means of a refuelling receptacle that connects to the refuelling tanker. From the receptacle it enters a refuelling gallery which distributes the incoming fuel to the various aircraft tanks. The control of fuel entry into each tank is undertaken by valves that are under the control of the fuel management system.

CONT

The airport ground refueling system supplies fuel to the aircraft at high enough flows and pressures to allow refueling of the aircraft in a short period of time. Aircraft refueling is performed prior to almost every flight whereas defueling is primarily performed during maintenance actions.

The pressure-fueling station on the aircraft has a pressure-fueling and defueling receptacle and an electrical control panel. The pressure-fueling receptacle is standard on all aircraft that use the pressure-fueling method. However, the electrical panel and controls differ from one aircraft to another, depending upon the complexity of the fuel system.
