Understanding the Fuel Systems of an Aircraft: Gravity Feed System and Pressure Feed Fuel System!

In this video we look at the components and working of the fuel system of an aircraft. The fuel system has different functions such as storing fuel; supplying fuel to engines and APU; and giving indications in the cockpit.
We see different types of Fuel Systems such as Gravity Feed Fuel system and the Pressure feed fuel system. The video gives explanation on the components that make up these systems and how the systems work.

  • @JxJAVIATION

    in case of failure of the pumps, the pressurized fuel feed to the engine is stopped. so the suction feed line allows the fuel to be fed to the engines with the help of gravity.

    The engines will also suction feed from the fuel tanks. I once saw a test pilot try to balance the fuel tanks and even after turning off both fuel pumps in one tank it made no difference because the engine still suction fed. Illegal during landing and not recommended during turbulence.

    What happens if there is a imbalance in fuel... Will the aircraft will roll?

  • @JxJAVIATION

    @JxJAVIATION

    3 жыл бұрын

    There is usually an allowable limit for fuel imbalance. Within these limits there will be no operational impact. But if the imbalance goes beyond these limits then some inputs on the ailerons/rudder may be required for level flight.

    So why don't they just use pressurised oxygen tanks to fuel them? Surely this is cold fusion?

    Oxygen has to be mixed with a combustible fluid for the combustion process. It is possible to use hydrogen as a fuel which few companies are working on.

    Show us genuine photos of the fuel tanks in those commercial airline wings. I’m not convinced what you’re saying is true because the quantities stated that are put into the aircraft don’t match the dimensions. It’s as if you’re telling people they can fit a fully grown elephant inside a VW Beatle. You’re talking nonsense mate.
