Water Injection System Fuel Control Maintenance Fuel System Operation The fuel pump receives fuel from the airplane fuel system. The low pressure boost stage of the pump pressurizes the fuel and sends it to the fuel/oil cooler (FOC). The fuel ... flows from the FOC, through the fuel pump filter element, and then to the high pressure main stage of the pump. The high pressure main stage increases the fuel pressure and sends it to the fuel metering unit…
- Chapter 2: Engine Fuel & Fuel Metering Systems › Basic Fuel System
During starting, the boost pump forces fuel through a bypass in the engine-driven pump to the metering device. Once the engine-driven pump is rotating at sufficient speed, it takes over and delivers fuel to the metering device ... specified pressure. The airframe fuel system begins with the fuel tank and ends at the engine fuel system. The engine fuel system usually includes the engine-driven pumps and the fuel metering systems. In aircraft powered with a reciprocating engine…

Fuel-Flow Meter The fuel-flow meter measures the amount of fuel delivered to the engine. During engine testing procedures, the fuel-flow to the engine can be measured by three different methods: a direct flow meter, a pressure-based ... flow meter, or a turbine sensor-based flow meter. The direct reading flow meter uses a series of calibrated tubes located in the control room. The tubes are of various sizes to indicate different volumes of fuel-flow. Each tube…
