Study Notes
Mechanical Fuel Indication System
- Uses measuring sticks installed in fuel tanks.
- Provides backup for the electrical fuel indication system.
- Measures fuel level in a tank.
- Requires two or more measuring sticks in irregular shaped tanks (e.g., wing tanks) to determine fuel quantity.
- Uses one measuring stick in regular shaped tanks (e.g., center tank).
- Measuring sticks are specifically designed for their position in a tank.
- Measuring sticks are not interchangeable between different tank locations.
- Number of measuring sticks in a tank depends on the shape of the tank.
