1. General
The fuel pump is driven by a motor housed in the pump cartridge. When it becomes necessary to replace
the pump motor, the pump cartridge can be removed without having to remove the entire fuel pump.
2. Description
The fuel pump consists of a sealed pump housing and a pump cartridge incorporating the motor and
impeller.
3. Operation
Fuel is drawn in through a valve installed in the pump housing and is then pumped into the fuel line by the
impeller housed in the pump cartridge. The pump delivers 7.5 literslmin. at 1.7 bar (25 psi) maximum.
2. Visually inspect fuel pump for leakage in the mounting area. If leakage is evident, remove pump cartridge
per para. 867-6 and replace 0-rings (24 and 25).
3. Inspect screws (14,16,17 and 20) and nuts (27) for tightness. If necessary, retighten screws and nuts and
secure with lockwire. For torque on nuts refer to fig. 867-1.
4. lnspect bonding jumpers (5) and (9) and electrical lead (6) for damage and tight connection. Replace if
damaged.
b. Disconnect battery and EPU from aircraft electrical System (refer to Chapter 92).
1) Open all drain valves by pushing up and turning the valve stem.
2) Remove fuel filler cap and insert the purging medium delivery hose into the fuel cell. Seal the gap
between the delivery hose and the filler neck with adhesive tape (CM 614).
3) Purge the fuel tank using either filtered, compressed air for approx. 2 hours at 2 to 4 bar or nitrogen
for 2 hours at a flow rate of 0.5 kglmin.
4) When purging has been completed, remove the delivery hose and wait approx. 1 hour before
continuing with the removal procedure.
d. Remove screws (22, fig. 867-1) and remove Cover plate (21).
e. Unscrew and remove Allen screw (17) together with electrical lead (6).

DOWN ON THE VALVE AND D 0 NOT TOUCH THE VALVE WlTH SHARP
OBJECTS.
g. Remove Allen screw (16), rotate fuel shutoff lever arm (8) away from the pump cartridge, and remove
bonding jumper (9) and washer (15).
h. Detachconnectingpiece (4) and attachedfuel line by removing screw (14), washer (13), 0-rings (10,12)
and spacer (11). Discard O-rings (10,12).
i. Remove nuts (27) together with washers (28) and bonding jumper (5). and detach pump housing (3)
together with pumpcartridge(26)and gasket (2) from bolt ring (1) of fuel cell. If connectingpiece (4) is hard
to dislodge from the fuel pump, force it up off its seat by threading an M6 screw of suitable length into the
bore.
NOTE If the fuel pump is to be sent for repair, be Sure to include the connecting piece.
lnstead of removing the connecting piece located in the tank, you are recom-
mendedto send the connectingpiece of the replacementfuel pump to the repair
facility.

b. Lubricate gasket with grease (CM 101) and fit it on the mountingflange of pump housing (3).
C. Secure connectingpiece (4) together with attached fuel line to pump housing (3),using screw (14), new
0-rings (10,12), spacer (11) and washer (13).
d. Fit pump housing (3) together with pumpcartridge (26) and gasket (2) in fuel tank and attach to bolt ring
together with bonding jumper (5), using screws (27) and washers (28). For torque on nuts refer to fig.
867-1.
e. Rotate fuel shutoff lever arm back in line with its mating hole in the pump cartridge.
f. Press upward on the connected end of the fuel shutoff lever arm so that valve spring bottoms and install
washer (15), bonding jumper (9) and Allen screw (16).
i. Apply a coat of corrosion preventive lacquer (CM 501) to bonding jumper (9).
j. Refuelfuel System according to Chapter 06 and functionally test fuel pump per Chapter 92, para. 92-79.
