Study Notes
Refueling Valves
- Refueling valves control fuel flow into aircraft tanks during refueling operations.
- Older aircraft used manually operated or motor-driven valves, but modern aircraft use solenoid operated valves.
- Valves are typically attached to the front or rear spars of wing tanks and the rear wall of the center tank.
- Control components are located outside the tank, while valve components are inside the tank.
- This design allows for replacement of control components without emptying the tank.
- Manual override provides easy access for operating the valve if required.
