Chrisakky Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Hi there! I remember seeing some information about negative G fuel tanks/pumps but I can't find it in the manual. I need to know how long these tanks/pumps can supply the engines during -G. Can anyone point me to the page with this on? Thanks! YouTube channel
Guest Fury_007 Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 I read it somewhere also. I tested it myself by flying upside down. It's around 10 seconds. Another question: How to restart engines once they've been starved of fuel?
MTFDarkEagle Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Get positive G as soon as possible, and if you can hit the ENG OPER switches to IGN to maybe relight the engines. Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
Avilator Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Don't forget to allow some time for the small tank to refill between periods of inverted flight.

mvsgas Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 AFAIK, there are no negative g pumps. I will see if I can find something myself. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
Snoopy Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 AFAIK, there are no negative g pumps. I will see if I can find something myself. You are correct...there are "colletor tanks" but no negative g pumps.... per the C-1: Boost pressure is provided by boost pumps located in each main and wing tank. A DC boost pump, located in the left main tank is used during engine and APU starts if the left main boost pump is inoperative. For negative g flight, collector tanks will supply the engine with sufficient fuel for 10 seconds operation at MAX power. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website
