WildBillKelsoe Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Most probably a fictional procedure, but lets say I want to run an engine on 1500 PPH and the other on 1100 PPH so I get the TKS UNEQUAL indication in 2 hours time or even less, how can I transfer fuel? How long does it take? Which tanks are applicable, the main or the wing tanks? Thanks for clarifying the order of tanks.

Eddie Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 The engines are fed from the main tanks L/R respectively, which are in turn fed by the L/R wing tanks respectively, allowing a fuel imbalance to occur would be an error on your part caused by not monitoring systems correctly. That said, to correct it... If you have a fuel imbalance the first way to correct it is use of differential throttle, the second is to open the tank gate valve and allow fuel to flow (by gravity) between the L & R main tanks provided there is at least 1300 lbs in each main tank, any less and the fuel will be below the level of the valve.
