pump.
B-To assist in the transfer of fuel from the main tank to
the boost pump sump.
C-To transfer fuel from the boost pump sump to the
wing tank.
What is the purpose of an engine-driven fuel pump bypass valve? .

A-To divert the excess fuel back to the main tank.
B-To prevent a damaged or inoperative pump from
blocking the fuel flow of another pump in series with
it.
C-To divert the excess fuel from the pressure side of
the pump to the inlet side of the pump.
Most large aircraft reciprocating engines are equipped with which of the following types
of engine-driven fuel pumps?
A-Rotary-Vane-Type fuel pump
B-Centrifugal-type fuel pump.
C-Gear-type fuel pump.
When an electric primer is used, fuel pressure is built up by the

A-internal pump in the primer solenoid.
B-suction at the main discharge nozzle.
C-booster pump.
The fuel pump relief valve directs excess fuel to the

A-fuel tank return line.
B-inlet side of the fuel pump.
C-inlet side of the fuel strainer.
Which type of pump is commonly used as a fuel pump on reciprocating engines?

A- Gear.
B-Impeller.
C-Vane.
The purpose of the diaphragm in most vane-type fuel pumps is to

A-maintain fuel pressure below atmospheric pressure.
B-equalize fuel pressure at all speeds.
C-compensate fuel pressures to altitude changes
What is a characteristic of a centrifugal type boost pump?

A-It separates air and vapor from the fuel.
B-It has positive displacement.
C-It requires a relief valve.
The Federal Aviation Regulations require the fuel flow rate for gravity systems (main
and reserve) to be
A- 125 percent of the takeoff fuel consumption of the
engine.
B- 125 percent of the maximum, except takeoff, fuel
consumption of the engine.
C-150 percent of the takeoff fuel consumption of the
engine.
Fuel boost pumps are operated

A-to provide a positive flow of fuel to the engine.
B-during takeoff only.
C-primarily for fuel transfer to another tank.
A pilot reports that the fuel pressure fluctuates and exceeds the upper limits whenever
the throttle is advanced. The most likely cause of the trouble is
A-a ruptured fuel pump relief-valve diaphragm.
B-a sticking fuel pump relief valves
C-an air leak at the fuel pump relief-valve body.
Fuel pump relief valves designed to compensate

for atmospheric pressure variations are known as
A-compensated-flow valves.
B-pressurized-relief valves.
C-balanced-type relief valves.
If an engine equipped with a float-type carburetor

backfires or misses when the throttle is advanced, a likely
cause is that the
A-float level is too high.
B-main air bleed is clogged.
C-accelerating pump is not operating properly.
A fuel pressure relief valve is required on

A-engine-driven diaphragm-type fuel pumps
B-engine-driven vane-type fuel pumps
C-centrifugal fuel boost pumps
A rotary-vane pump is best described as a

A-positive-displacement pump
B-variable-displacement pump
C-boost pump
Fuel pressure produced by the engine-driven fuel pump is adjusted by the

A-bypass valve adjusting screw
B-relief valve adjusting screw
C-engine driven fuel pump adjusting screw
What component is used to ensure fuel delivery during periods of rapid engine
acceleration?
A-Acceleration pump,
B-Water injection pump.
C-Power enrichment unit.
What type of pump can vary the amount of fuel discharged regardless of speed
Answer - A variable displacement pump.
What is the purpose of a pressure relief valve in a constant displacement pump?

Answer - It returns is not required by the engine to the inlet side of the pump.
What type of engine-driven fuel pump is widely used other than gear or piston pumps?
Answer - A rotary vane type.
What function do fuel boost pumps perform.

Answer - They supply pressurized fuel to the fuel pump, which helps prevent vapor lock
and cavitation.
What is a commonly used type of fuel boost pump?

Answer - The centrifugal type.
What category is a gear-type pump classified in?

Answer – Constant displacement.
What maintains the fuel pressure in a pressure-injection carburetor?

Answer – An engine driven fuel pump.
When performing an external inspection of an engine-driven fuel pump what should you
look for?
Answer - Leaks and security of mounting.
What is the purpose of a shear section of the driveshaft in a dual element constant
displacement pump?
Answer - If one element seizes, a portion of the driveshaft seizes, allowing the other
element to continue to operate.
What is the purpose of a bypass valve in an engine fuel system micron filter?
Answer – It is a safety feature that allows fuel to flow to the engine if the filter becomes
blocked.
