    Interesting story about the test flight involving the suction feeding! I had read in a manual elsewhere that the purpose of the first and second stage engine driven fuel pumps was to boost the pressure even further from what the fuel boost pumps already have done so I've always been under the impression that these pumps are more powerful and would provide reasonable pressure to the fuel in the event of a complete loss of the main fuel boost pumps. Thank you as always for your outstanding content Chris, it is always much appreciated!

    • @ChrisBrady737
      @ChrisBrady737  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      In the cruise or descent or at low levels the engine drivel fuel pumps should be sufficient to deliver a decent head of fuel pressure but in the climb the effects of cavitation due to released air may, as I found, be a problem.

    17:40 Jet fuel is ignited by an electrical spark, created by the igniters. The naked flame of a match and a spark are not comparable. The possibility of vapours being present and ignited by a static spark during refuelling is the primary risk.

    Amazing content!
    Just one thing about the minimum fuel temperature, I'm almost sure that all over USA they use Jet A (freezing temp of -40°). Adding the +3º C, the minimum fuel temp we go to -37ºC.
    Boeing recommends that you stick to the highest value until the third consecutive refueling process with Jet A1.
    Anyway, here in Brazil will do flights that last 7:40h (Brasília - Orlando) but I've never seen fuel temperature below -10°C.
    Thank you for the amazing video!

    • @ChrisBrady737

      Yes you are correct about the use of Jet A and 3 refuellings, I should have mentioned it in the video. Here in Europe I have seen some very low fuel temperatures in winter when you takeoff and land in cold temperatures on a long flight.

    Regarding your comment on spar valves, the start lever is mechanically connected by steel cable to the FCU on the engine which has an internal shutoff valve. This is why the engine shuts down immediately using the start levers, whereas shutting the dc spar valve with the fire handle requires the fuel to burn off if the start lever isn't moved to cut off. It can also be why an engine fire may not necessarily be stopped immediately by pulling the fire handle.

  • @vikkimcdonough6153
    @vikkimcdonough6153 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    29:46 - Could the auxiliary-tank vent's location potentially be to keep it from being affected by the disturbed air coming off the wing? Given that the wing produces considerable changes in pressure in the airflow around it (and that these changes vary considerably based on aircraft configuration and angle of attack), putting the auxiliary-tank vent behind the wing could conceivably result in situations where the pressure gradient through the vent becomes reversed and the airflow sucks fuel vapor out of the tank (which would reduce the pressure head on the fuel pumps, increase the rate at which the fuel evaporates, pose environmental concerns, and potentially become a fire/explosion hazard) rather than pushing air in. (All of this is just a guess, though.)

    Great videos.
    I believe the fuel valve closed light on the classic is an indication of the shut off valve located at the engine mounting wing stations (wing spar). Controlled by start lever or fire switch.
    There is also a fuel shutoff valve on the output of the MEC controlled mechanically by the start levers only - there is no indication of this valve in the flight deck.

    Awesome video Sir !! . A small doubt . Main tanks are full , center tank is about 5 tons . I have switched off left center pump . Right center still on . Cross feed closed . Now , Does the left engine feeds on left main tank or center tank and right engine from Right main tank or center tank ?

    • @ChrisBrady737
      @ChrisBrady737  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Firstly, I assume that you are talking about an NG, the system is different in the Classic.
      If an NG with full main tanks, the center tank scavenge pump will not operate, so that is out of the equation.
      On the NG the main tank pumps produce higher pressure than suction feeding so fuel for the left engine will be taken from the left wing tank. The right engine will feed from the centre tank because the centre tank pumps produce a higher pressure than the main tanks.
      Note that this is not the recommended way to crossfeed fuel.

      @@ChrisBrady737 Thank you so much sir . Cross-feeding to be done as per FCOM supple. in my company . Speaking of which , two further doubts regarding NGs😬. Q1) During cruise we quite often get an imbalance under 453 kgs , do we need to balance it out ? ( I understand these limits are for structural considerations and not for controllability as such - FCTM ) . Q2) In many short sectors , we often have the fuel required for flight , present as fuel on board from previous flights . In such cases , main tanks are sometimes at an Imbalance ( under 453 kgs ) , can we accept such situations ( Talking from FCOM limitation - Lateral imbalance must be scheduled to zero ) . TIA .

    • @ChrisBrady737
      @ChrisBrady737  ปีที่แล้ว

      There are no single exact figures because there are many variables. For instance taxy fuel varies with environmental factors such as ISA deviation of temp & pressure altitude. It also varies significantly with aircraft weight and to a lesser extent on the taxyway surface and slope and engine condition.

    Hello Chris. What an amazing set of videos. And your website blew my mind. Great stuff! May I ask you one question regarding the FQIS precision? I cannot seem to find this +/- 2% (NG and MAX) anywhere on the net to know where does this number comes from. Is it in the 737 AMM, maybe?

      The centre tank pumps will not fully drain the tank, they will leave some residual fuel behind due to their inlet location and the aircraft body angle. The scavenge pump is used to drain any residual fuel in the centre tank.

      Yes, on the MAX, Main Tank 1 & 2 Fuel Pumps are physically located in the Center Tank; their pick-ups piped to their respective tanks. I presume this is a safety feature taking advantage of the Center Tank’s NGS Inerting feature. Possibly easier servicing as well.

      My point was only that the fuel is 0.8 of the weight of water so it is not quite as heavy as you might think, but it is still many tons of fuel in each wing. I don't know if the tanks are hydrostatically tested during manufacture, but being aircraft components they have very high standards.

      Specific Gravity which is the density of the fuel. We use it to convert from volume to weight

    Thanks a lot! I have some questions about fuel system.
    1. Why is there only one temperature sensor? (at main tank #1)
    2. Why isn't there any bypass valve at center tank?

      Q1 is answered at 50:47 Q2 because if center tank bypass is required, you should still have full wing tanks.
