Aircraft Fuel System by FAA pdf torrent

Basic Fuel System Requirements

All powered aircraft require fuel on board to operate the
engine(s). A fuel system consisting of storage tanks, pumps,
filters, valves, fuel lines, metering devices, and monitoring
devices is designed and certified under strict Title 14 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) guidelines. Each
system must provide an uninterrupted flow of contaminantfree
fuel regardless of the aircraft’s attitude. Since fuel
load can be a significant portion of the aircraft’s weight,
a sufficiently strong airframe must be designed. Varying
fuel loads and shifts in weight during maneuvers must not
negatively affect control of the aircraft in flight.
