IvanK Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 A few questions on External Fuel tanks. Anyone know the answers ? 1. What is the KA50 external fuel tank transfer sequence ? Is externals to internals fuel tanks ... i.e. externals transfer first ? 2. Is there any way to read Total remaining fuel quantity when carrying external fuel tanks ? 3. How do you know when the external tanks are empty ? Is this indicated by the fuselage internal fuel quantity indicators coming of the stops and starting to decrease ?
EvilBivol-1 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) As indicated, the external tanks feed the internal tanks. The external tanks are used as long as the external tank pumps are on (turned on/off by the pilot). Advisory lights on the overhead panel indicate when the external pumps are feeding. Once the fuel flow stops, the pumps disengage and the lights go out. You are now running on internal fuel. There is no indication of fuel quantity for the external tanks.
