GENERAL LAYOUT
General
The fuel system stores fuel in five tanks. It supplies fuel to the engines and
APU, and controls the center of gravity position.
Fuel is stored in the main fuel tanks and in the trim tank.
Most of the functions are controlled by the Fuel Control and Monitoring System
( FCMS ).
Feed Concept
The inner tanks are the main supply tanks. They receive fuel from the other
tanks by transfers carried out and controlled by the FCMS.
Management
The FCMS manages the fuel system with 2 identical Fuel Control and
Monitoring Computers FCMC 1 and FCMC 2.
The different functions of the system are :
S fuel level and temperature sensing
S fuel gauging
S center of gravity calculation
S fuel management
S indication and fault reporting
S system monitoring and test

because each FCMC receives all of the probe data.
The output from each densitometer gives accurate fuel density data to the CPU
through its conditioning circuit. One densitometer supplies data to one FCMC.
There is no direct connection from one densitometer to the opposite FCMC.
The fuel probe data, the densitometer data and the fuel tank geometry figures
(which are kept in the computer software) are used to calculate the fuel
quantity and give:
S the fuel quantity in each tank
S the total fuel quantity in the aircraft.
Each temperature probe has two sensors. Although the two outputs (one from
each sensor) are connected to one FCMC, the internal configuration of the
FCMC makes sure that each sensor output connects to separate signal
conditioners. Thus the FCMCs each receive data from every probe. The fuel
temperature data is used to give fuel temperature warnings and cautions.

overboard.
Breather Assembly
Several Breather Assemblies are installed on the bottom of the vent pipes. Wing Fence
They serve as drain valves, and let ingoeing fuel drain back to the inner tank. If fuel comes out of the NACA Intake (or the Overpressure Protector), it could
go inboard along the lower surface of the wing.
Vent Float Valves
A Wing Fence makes sure that such fuel falls off the wing.
There are two Vent Float Valves for the Inner Tank and one for the Outer Tank.
Operation
During flight, fuel from Inner Tank can collect in the Surge Vent Tank before
flowing overboard.
If there is fuel in the Surge Tank, gravity or pressurization from the NACA air
intake causes fuel to move through its drain pipe to the Inner Vent pipes.
From there it flows through the Breather Assemblies into the Inner Tank.

Flame Arrestor
The flame arrestor in the left and right wing are the same. The flame arrestor in
the trim tank is almost the same, but it is smaller.
The vent protector has a body with a number of cartridges and spacers
installed in it. The body is a cylinder with a clip for attachement to the NACA
vent at one end. At the other end is a end fitting. The spacers hold the
cartridges apart from one another and keep the assy rigid. The vent protector
lets air or fuel freely flow through it.
Fuel Vent Valve
The fuel vent valve has
S a body
S a float assembly
S an external poppet valve
The float assembly usually hangs down which keeps the poppet valve open.
When the fuel level increases to a certain level it lifts the float assembly and
thus closes the valve.
Breather Assembly
Several Breather Assemblies are installed on the bottom of the vent pipes.
They serve as drain valves, and let ingoeing fuel drain back to the inner tank.
NOTE: The components used in the Trim Surge Tank are nearly the
same than those installed in the Wing Surge Tanks.

CENTER TANK BOX VENTING/DRAINING A330−300

General
The center box venting and drainage system prevents the collection of fuel
vapour in the center box area if minor fuel leaks occur.
The system consists of:
S an air supply pipe
S a check valve
S a vent duct
S a drain line with drain mast
S a leak monitor
Ventilation System
The aire supply pipe is installed on the center box front spar. It supplies
pressurized air from the air conditioning system to the center box. The check
valve installed in the air supply pipe does not let fuel vapour go into the air
conditioning system.
The vent duct is installed in the center of the center box. The bottom of the
duct is connected to a flexible hose. This hose connects the vent duct to an air
vent below the belly. The vent duct causes a continuous ventilation through the
center box.
Draining System
Two drains at the rear of the center box connect the center box to the drain line
and the drain mast. The drains also causes a continuous flow of air through the
center box. If a fuel leak occurs into the center box fuel will go through the
drain line and the drain mast to atmosphere.
The drain line has a leak monitor. The monitor keeps a small quantity of fuel for
leak analysis. Maintenance personell use the leak monitor to do a check for
unwanted fuel insude the center box.
NOTE:
The leak monitor is of the same type as the water drain valves on the wing
tanks.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
General
The APU fuel pump system supplies the necessary fuel to operate the APU in
all operation conditions.
The system has two fuel feed pumps:
S one pump is installed in the wing center section. It supplies the trim tank fuel
transfer line and the APU line with fuel when the transfer system does not
operate.
S a second pump is installed in the tail cone section. It supplies fuel from the
trim tank transfer line to the APU fuel system when the trim transfer system
operates.
The pump control is automatic and depends on the operating conditions.
The trim tank transfer line and the APU fuel lines transfer the fuel from the left
hand inner wing tank to the APU fuel system.
If a fire and overheat detection occurs in the APU compartment the aft fuel
feed pump is de-energized.
Description
When given conditions occur the forward fuel feed pump supplies the
necessary fuel from the L/H inner tank to the APU fuel system through:
S the forward APU fuel line
S the trim tank transfer line
S the fuel / air seperator
S the aft APU fuel line
In some conditiones the aft fuel feed pump supplies the fuel from the trim tank
fuel transfer line to the APU fuel system through the fuel / air seperator and the
aft fuel line installed in the stabilizer compartment.

motor which moves the pump impeller. switch sends a signal to the FCMCs to control the AFT pump to operate. The
failure is memorized in the FCMCs.
The pump can supply 360 l per hour at a pressure rise of 17 PSI. The maximum
anbient operation temperatures of the pump are between − 55° C and +70° C.
The pump has thermo fuses installed which prevent an overtemperature. When
the temperature reaches 175° C the fuses stop the powersupply to the pump.
The pump supplies also fuel to the crossfeed line when all main fuel pumps are
lost in flight.
AFT Apu Pump

The AFT fuel feed−pump is a vane type pump with a single−phase 115VAC
motor which moves the pump vanes. The pump is self priming with sufficient
capacity to cope with released air.
The maximum ambient operation temperatures of the pump are between −55°
C and +70° C
Fuel Transfer Line Pressure Switch

The fuel pressure switch is installed behind the fuel air separator. The switch
closes when the pressure drops below 22 PSI and transmitt a signal to the
FCMC to close a relay which energizes then the aft APU pump.
Fuel Air Seperator

The fuel air separator is installed in the stabilizer compartment inbetween the
transfer line. It keeps enough fuel for APU operation if air appears in the fuel
transfer line.
Seperator Drain Valve

The drain valve is installed at the fuel air separator behind the access door
311AL on the outer fuselage. The valve is used by the maintenance to drain off
the water inside of the container.

Fuel Pump Pressure Switch
The pressure switch monitors the output pressure of the fuel pump. It is
installed on the rear face of the wing rear spar. A banjo−connection and
pressure pipe connects the pressure switch to the fuel pump. If the pressure
from a main pump decreases to less than 6 psi its pressure switch:
S gives a ground to connect the electrical supply to the standby pump
S puts on the amber FAULT light in the main pump P/BSW
S sends a signal to the Fuel Control and Monitoring System (FCMS)
S sends a signal to the ECAM system
Main Fuel Pump
The main fuel pump system has four main pumps and two standby pumps.
Two main pumps and its related standby pump makes a sub−system. Each
sub−system supplies fuel to its related engine. The circuit for each sub−system
contains (and connects to) the same type of equipment. As the other
sub−systems are almost the same, only the operation of the No. 1
sub−system/circuit is given here.
Main and standby pumps are equipped with thermal switches. If the pump
element temperature increases above 192° C three thermal switches operate.
The pump stops and must be replaced.
For removal the pump has to pulled to a stop where the canister is closed, and
then the cavity can be drained by removing the drain plug. To remove the pump
completely it has to be turned 30° counterclockwise guided by a groove.

Thermal Relief Valve
The valve body contains a ball and a spring. The spring holds the ball against a
valve seat. When the fuel pressure increases to more than 40 psi the ball lifts
(against the pressure of the spring) to release the fuel through the outlet holes.
Air Release Valve

The body of the valve has a mounting flange at the bottom and the rubber
check valve at the top. Internally the valve has three chambers, which are:
S a vent chamber
S a diaphragm chamber
S a float chamber
The float chamber contains an annular float.
Openings in the bottom of the chamber let in the fuel and air.
A small opening at the top of the float chamber connects to the
diaphragm−chamber.
The vent valve (attached to the center of the diaphragm) closes the vent port
between the float chamber and the vent chamber.
Jet Pump
The jet pump makes sure that its collector cell is kept full of fuel.
The fuel supply flows through the nozzle and causes a suction. This suction
causes fuel in the inner tanks to move through the jet pump into the collector
cell.
The rate of flow makes sure that the collector cell is kept full of lightly
pressurized fuel (and that the fuel pumps have a fuel supply during negative ’G’
conditions).

ENG LP FUEL SHUTTOFF VALVE DESCRIPTION

General
The engine LP fuel shutoff valve isolates its corresponding engine.
The related engine master switch controls the operation of the LP valve. If the
engine Fire pushbutton switch is operated the LP valve closes despite the
position of the engine master switch.
Description and Operation

The LP fuel shutoff valve has two independent electrical control circuits. They
connect through a control relay to these related switches
S the ENGINE MASTER SWITCH
S the FIRE PUSHBUTTON SWITCH
The LP valve isolates its related engine from the engine fuel feed line. The LP
valve is in the fuel feed line to the engine. The interface between the valve and
the actuator is made by a spindle that goes through the front spar of the wing.
A V−band clamp connects the actuator to the LP valve drive assembly on the
front spar.
A heat resistant box contains the actuator and the drive assembly. Thus you
don’t have to go in the fuel tank to replace the actuator.
Each actuator has two motors, which get their power supply from
different sources:
S the 28VDC HOT BUS 1 supplies the motor 1
S the 28VDC BUS 2 supplies the motor 2
Indication
The actuator send position information to the SDAC and the FCMCs for valve
monitoring by travel limit switches inside the actuators.
The valve position can be seen on the ECAM fuel page.
NOTE:
In order to perform a engine motoring test it is required to have positive fuel
pressure in the Fuel Metering Unit. This is achieved by opening the Circuit
Breaker 1KC1. Now the deenergized Master Switch Slave Relay closes the
contact to the open position and the actuator opens the LP VALVE.

General
The crossfeed system has a crossfeed valve which is normally closed.
In this configuration it divides the engine fuel feed system in the left hand and
the right hand system.
Thus when selected open by the crew the engine feed line is opened to supply
both engines by one tank only.
Description
The crossfeed valve is installed to the rear wall of the center wing box. The
actuator is attached by a V−clamp to the crossfeed valve drive assembly.
The interface is made by a spindle which coonects the valve to the actuator.
A visual indicator on the casing of the actuator gives position information.

Crossfeed Actuator
The actuator has two electrical motors which turn the ball valve through 90° .
Limit switches in the actuator control this 90° movement and set the electrical
circuit for the next operation.
One of the two motors can open or close the valve if the other motor does not
operate.
A V−Band clamp attaches the actuator to the flange of the drive assembly. A
location peg makes sure the actuator engages correctly.
Apu Check Valve (optional)
A check valve is installed on the APU fuel feed line which connects to the
engine feed line.
It lets the FWD APU pump supply the engine feed line but prevents supply of
fuel from the engine feed system to the APU feed line.
When the fuel pressure comes from the outlet direction, the valve−plate closes
and prevents fuel flow back through the valve.
An O−ring prevents a fuel leakage from the valve.

MAIN TRANSFER SYSTEM
28−26

GENERAL
The main transfer system controls the flow of fuel from the center and the outer
tanks to the two inner tanks.
The system uses fuel pumps to move the fuel from the center tank to the inner
tanks. It uses gravity to move the fuel from the outer tanks to the inner tanks.
The Fuel Control and Monitoring System (FCMS) automatically controls the
system, but the crew can manually control it from the cockpit if necessary.
The Engine/Warning Display EWD and the System Display SD (which together
make the ECAM) give main transfer system information to the crew. If specified
failures occur:
S the FUEL page shows on the SD.
The main transfer system has these components:
S the five P/B switches L CTR, R CTR, CTR TANK XFR, OUTER TK XFR
and T TANK MODE on the cockpit fuel panel 245VU
S the Center Fuel Transfer Pump element and its related canister (which
together make a transfer pump)
S the Pressure Switch
S the Inner Tank Inlet Valve and its related electrical actuator
S the Intertank Transfer Valve and its related electrical actuator
The FCMS has automatic control of the outer to inner tank fuel transfer all of the
time. When you make an on selection on the L CTR or R CTR P/BSW the FCMS
has control of all the main transfer system. If there is fuel in the center tank, a fuel
transfer occurs in two steps:
Step 1 Center Tank to Inner Tank (A330−200 only)
During the first step, the two transfer pumps supply fuel pressure to the refuel
gallery. Thus the pumps move fuel from the center tank to the inner tanks (or to
the outer tanks if specified failure conditions occur). The pumps are attached to
the bottom of the center tank as follows:
S the LH transfer pump between STA3461/FR45 and STA3514/FR46 (LH
side)
S the RH transfer pump between STA3461/FR45 and STA3514/FR46 (RH
side).

Step 2 Outer Tank to Inner Tank
The second step of the fuel transfer starts when the fuel in the outer tanks is
moved to the inner tanks. The intertank transfer valve controls this fuel flow. It
is installed, in the inner tank, on the bottom half of STA1530/RIB23 between
stringer 11 and 12.
The two valves open together, and gravity causes a fuel flow from the outer to
the inner tanks.
The actuator operates the intertank transfer valve through a driveshaft. The
actuator is installed on the forward face of the front spar.
When energized, it moves the intertank transfer valve to the open or closed
position.

MAIN TRANSFER COMPONENTS

Fuel Pump Element
The fuel pump element is the same type as those in the main fuel pump
system. For its description refer to the main fuel pump system.
Fuel Pump Canister

The canisters make it possible to replace the fuel element when there is fuel in
the center tank. The outlet pipe from each canister contains a check valve.
This check valve prevents an opposite fuel flow through the pump when it is
not in operation. The check valve and a slide−valve seal the canister when you
replace the fuel pump element.
Transfer Fuel Pump Pressure Switch
The pressure switch monitors the output pressure of the transfer pump. If the
pressure decreases to less than 6 PSI the pressure switch:
S puts on the amber FAULT light of the related L CTR or R CTR P/BSW
S sends a signal to the ECAM.
Inner Tank Inlet Valve
The inlet valve is installed in the fuel supply line to each inner tank. There it
independently controls the flow of fuel from the refuel gallery to the inner tank.
The valve is installed in the center tank and attaches to the forward face of the
rear spar. The valve has a spindle which goes through the rear spar to engage
with the actuator.
This actuator attaches to the rear face of the rear spar. When energized it
moves the inlet valve to the open or closed position.

Intertank Transfer Valve
The valve has a body attached to a mounting flange and a driveshaft. The
valve body holds a ball valve. The ball valve has a rectangular location slot into
which the driveshaft engages. Four bolts connect the mounting flange to the
aircraft structure.
The driveshaft connects the actuator to the intertank transfer valve. The
driveshaft has:
S a universal joint and a length adjuster
S a rectangular drive (which engages in the location slot in the ball valve) at
the other end.
The actuator has a body with a mounting flange. The body contains one
28VDC electrical motor. This motor drives a gear which turns the
transfer−valve driveshaft and the ball valve through 90°. There is a mechanical
indicator on the body which shows the position of the valve (open or closed).

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
General
The emergency isolation valve is used to separate the FWD inner to the AFT
inner tank. This is done by selecting the INNER TANK SPLIT pushbutton on
the overhead panel.
The crew selects the normally open valve to shut in case of structural damage
after an engine burst.
Description
OFF: The emergency isolation valve (inner tank division) is open.
ON: The valve closes and the inner tank is split in two parts.
In case of tank damage the fuel from either inner tank division may be used.
The ON light comes on amber.
SHUT: Comes on blue when the valve is shut. During refueling, whenever the
first inner tank high level sensor becomes wet, the valve closes. At the end of
refueling, the valve opens again
An electrical actuator operates the emergency isolation valve. The actuator is

installed on the aft face of the rear spar. The interface between the actuator
and the valve is a driveshaft that goes through the rear spar.
Operation
An electrical actuator operates the emergency isolation valve through a
driveshaft. The actuator is installed on the rear spar.
Thus you do not have to go into the fuel tank to replace the actuator. The
actuator has two motors, which get their power supply from different sources:
S motor 2 the 28VDC BUS 2
S motor 1 the 28VDC ESS BUS/SHED
The INNER TANK SPLIT pushbutton on the fuel control panel 211VU (which
is part of the cockpit overhead panel) controls the operation of the emergency
isolation valves.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
General Description
The trim transfer system controls the Center of Gravity (CG) of the aircraft. For A three−position switch (ISOL/AUTO/OPEN) on the cockpit fuel panel 245VU:
this function the system moves fuel from the wings to the trim tank (Aft S ISOL isolates the trim tank
transfer) or from the trim tank to the wings (Forward Transfer).
S AUTO lets the system operate automatically
This movement of fuel changes the CG of the aircraft.
S OPEN drains the trim pipe
The system operates automatically but the crew can manually set a forward
transfer. The trim transfer system has six fuel valves (with their related electrical
actuators), an air release valve, three check valves and a fuel pump with a

When the T TANK MODE P/BSW is set to FWD, the CG control stops and a
forward transfer (into the center tank) starts.
The Trim Transfer pump starts to run (if installes and if not already on).
The forward transfer has to be monitored to make sure that the center tank is
not filled to more than the necessary level.
These valves move to the position shown:

FORWARD TRANSFER OPERATION A330−300

AUTOMATIC OPERATION
The fuel goes from the trim tank to the inner tanks through the inner tank inlet
valves.
The FCMS opens:
S the Aux Fwd. Transfer Valve
S the Inner Tank Inlet Valves
During this fuel−transfer the fuel tank supplied can become full. If this occurs
the FCMS closes the inner tank inlet valve. The fuel−transfer stops until the
fuel quantity in the inner tank decreases to hi−level minus 2000 kg.
During this fuel−transfer the inner tanks may become more than 500 kg out of
balance. If this occurs, the inner tank inlet valve of the heavier tank will close
and forward transfer to the heavier tank will stop.
MANUAL OPERATION
When the T TANK MODE P/BSW is set to FWD, the CG control stops and a
forward transfer (into the center tank) starts.
The Trim Transfer pump starts to run (if installes and if not already on).
The forward transfer has to be monitored to make sure that the inner tanks are
not filled to more than the necessary level.
When the T TANK MODE P/BSW is released it gives the FCMS CG control
again.
If necessary the aft transfer starts again.

The T TANK FEED switch 13QN has three positions (AUTO, ISOL and OPEN).
S AUTO position
AUTO is the usual position of the switch which gives the FCMS full control
of the trim transfer system.
S ISOL position
When the switch is set to ISOL it connects a 28VDC supply to close the
trim−tank isolation valve. It also connects a ground to the relay 18QN (trim
tank fuel−isolation slave). This relay connects a 28VDC supply to close:
− the trim−tank inlet valve
− the auxiliary forward−transfer valve
− the trim−pipe isolation valve.
S OPEN position
In this position, these valves stay open.
− the trim-tank inlet valve
− the trim tank isolation valve
− the aux fwd. transfer valve
− the trim pipe isolation valve
− the inner tank inlet valves.
The fuel in the trim tank and trim pipe then drains into the two inner tanks.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Old Installation (AC SN 051-099)
If water gets into the fuel in the trim tank, the water scavenge system keeps
that water in suspension.
The system has an electrical fuel pump, together with two jet pumps, which
operate when these two conditions occur:
S the trim tank has more than 1000 kg (2200 lb) of fuel
S a main fuel pump is in operation.
New installation (AC SN 101-199)

The trim tank transfer pump is a booster pump 115 V 3 phase operated.
The pump operates two jet pumps inside of the trim tank for recirculation
purposes, and is also used for forward transfers.
The FCMS controls the operation of the trim transfer pump. There is no
indication in the cockpit that the pump is in operation.
The pump operates under following conditions:
S the aircraft is in flight and the landing gear and slats are retracted
S there is more than 200 kg of fuel in the trim tank or the trim tank lo-level
sensor is wet.
The pump then operates all the time. When the trim tank isolation valve opens,
the pump supplies fuel to carry out the forward transfer.
The trim tank transfer pump stops when one of these conditions occur:
S aircraft in flight and landing gear extended
S there is less than 200 kg of fuel in the trim tank and the trim tank lo-level
sensor is dry
S the trim tank transfer pressure switch has low pressure for more than 10
minutes
The trim tank transfer pump does not operate on ground (as long as the FWD
Transfer P/B is not set to on).

REFUEL DEFUEL SYSTEM
28−25
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Refuel
The Refuel/Defuel system controls the flow of fuel into or out of the aircraft.
A refuel or defuel is controlled from a refuel control panel in the RH lower belly
fairing. There is a refuel/defuel coupling (installed in the leading edge of the LH
and RH wing) that is the interface between the refuel/defuel system and the
external fuel source. Each refuel/defuel couplingcan have two refuel/defuel
hoses connected to it.
There are two different procedures to refuel the aircraft. These are:
S the Pressure Refuel (Automatic or Manual)
S the Overwing Refuel
To fill the fuel tanks to their maximum capacity, the aircraft must be at the usual
ground attitude datum. With a refuel supply pressure at 50 PSI from four fuel
hoses, the minimum time to pressure refuel the aircraft (from the usual
reserves to maximum capacity) is approximately 33 minutes
Defuel
There are two procedures to defuel the aircraft. These are:
S the Pressure Defuel (the aircraft fuel−pumps supply the fuel pressure for the
defuel)
S the Suction Defuel (the external defuel source supplies the suction to
remove the fuel).
Refuel Gallery
The refueling gallery consists of the distribution manifold with a fuel inlet valve
for each of the tanks.
The interface between the refueler and the refueling gallery are the
Refuel/Defuel Isolation Valves in the L/H and the R/H wing.
These valves are controlled to open through the FCMC if there is no refueling
shut down signal during refueling.
A Manual Override Button allows the valve to open, if the computer signal is
not present. Fuel pressure actuates the valves to the open position.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Refuel Gallery Pressure Switch
During a refuel, the refuel−gallery low−pressure switch (53QU) monitors the
fuel pressure in the refuel gallery.
If the pressure in the refuel gallery decreases to below a specified limit, the
pressure switch will operate.
This causes the trim tank isolation function to operate and isolates the trim
pipe.
The APU forward fuel pump then supplies the APU with fuel from the left inner
tank through the APU isolation valve.
The pressure switch is attached to the rear face of the rear spar.
Tank Inlet Valve
The tank inlet valves are the interface between the refuel gallery and the tank.
Its primary function is to control the flow of fuel from the refuel gallery into any
fuel tank.
But during a suction defuel it also controls the fuel flow out of the tanks.
The valves are installed:
S on the wing front spar
S on the wing rear spar
S on the center box rear spar.
The valve has a valve spindle which goes through the front or rear spar to
engage with the electrical actuator.
The actuator attaches to the rear face of the rear spar. When energized it
moves the inlet valve to the open or the closed position.
Center Tank Restrictor Valve (A340/A330−200 only)

The center−tank refuel restrictor valve is located immediately downstream of
the center−tank inlet valve. Its function is to prevent an overpressure of the
center tank structure during a refuel. The valve is installed in the center tank
and attaches to the forward face of the rear spar.

SUCTION DEFUEL DESCRIPTION

General
It is possible to suction defuel all of the fuel tanks.
To do this:
S the MODE SELECT switch is set to DEFUEL
S the necessary fuel−tank inlet valves are set to OPEN
The FCMS energizes the refuel isolation solenoid and (when the defueller
supplies the suction) the valve opens. The fuel is then removed from the
selected fuel tanks (through the refuel diffusers and the open inlet valves).
To do a suction defuel it is necessary for the level sense function of the FCMS
to be in operation. If the full FCMS is energized it moves the fuel valves to the
position shown on the refue / defuel panel (the NORM position closes the
valve).
NOTE: If the trim tank contains fuel, then fuel−system interlocks prevent a
suction defuel of the inner tanks

FUEL GROUND TRANSFER DESCRIPTION

General
It is possible to do a ground transfer from the center or inner tanks to all the
tanks (but not usually to the trim tank). The FCMS must be energized.
Inner Tank Ground Transfer

To do a ground fuel−transfer from the inner tank:
S the MODE SELECT switch is set to REFUEL
S the TRANSF VALVE switch is set to OPEN
S the necessary REFUEL/DEFUEL−VALVES switches are set to OPEN
S the MAIN or STBY fuel pumps are set to ON
NOTE: The TRANSF VALVE switch opens the LH aft transfer valve
(only if a related stby or main pump is on), and opens the RH
transfer valve (only if a related stby or main pump is on). This
function prevents a loss of fuel pressure to the APU when it is
supplied through the forward APU fuel pump.

It is not necessary to have electrical power to use the MMIs. Each MMI has a
magnetic level indicator (MLI). The MLI is a glass reinforced plastic rod which
has marks to show the fuel level.
A set of mathematical tables is used to make the fuel quantity calculation.
These connect together:
S the MLI indication
S the aircraft attitude
S the specific gravity of the fuel
NOTE: To calculate the quantity in the trim tank the tank must be
emptied to the inners.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
General
All the wing Manual Magnetic Indicators (MMIs) are installed in the bottom
surface of the fuel tank. Access to the MLI is from below the wing. An attitude
monitor is installed in the aircraft fuselage.
The MMIs are installed as follows:
S five in each inner tank
S three in each outer tank.
The assembly of each MLI housing is almost the same, but the angle of th
body mounting flanges (and the length of their tubes) are different. The end cap
prevents a fuel leakage when the MLI is in use or removed.
The body is attached to the other end of the tube and connects the
MLI-housing to the fuel tank. The float assembly (which contains a magnet) is
free to move up and down the outside of the tube. The MLI-housing (which fully
contains the MLI) has a bayonet−type recess into which the MLI
bayonetlock engages.
Attitude Monitor
The attitude monitor is a circular level with graduations on the surface. Each
square of the grid is equal to 0.5 ° change of attitude. The position of the
bubble in relation to the grid gives the aircraft attitude.
NOTE: In case of a failed Attitude Monitor the Pitch and Roll position readout
can be taken from the SPECIFIC DATA pages through the MCDU from the
FCMCs or with the ACMC Alpha Callup Menü.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The jettison system makes it possible to discard some of the aircraft fuel in
flight. The crew manually start the operation of the jettison system from the
cockpit.
The jettison system has two jettison valves. They are identified as:
S the LH Fuel Jettison Valve with its actuator
S the RH Fuel Jettison Valve with its actuator
The activated system continues until one of these conditions occur:
S the crew stops the operation
S the Fuel Control and Monitoring System stops the operation at a pre−set
jettison final gross weight
S the total fuel quantity in the two inner tanks is less than 10000 kg
S the two lo−Level sensors in one of the inner tanks become dry
Operation of the jettison system also causes a forward fuel−transfer to
occur. The jettison system output−rate is approximately 1150 kg per minute.
The jettison valve is installed in a fuel line from the refuel gallery. The valve
controls the flow of fuel from the refuel gallery to the jettison pipe. The valve is
installed in the inner tank and is attached to the bottom skin.
When the valve opens, the all fuel pumps remove fuel from the Center and
Inner tanks. The fuel then goes through the jettison valve, the jettison pipe and
overboard.

the jettison valves.
Jettison Valve Actuator
Each actuator is attached to the drive assembly of the jettison valve (below the
inner tank) with a V−band clamp.
Thus you do not have to go into the fuel tank to replace the actuator.
The interface between the actuator and its jettison valve is a valve spindle that
goes through the fuel tank bottom−skin.
