2,500 lb/hr -- hour One 2,000 lb/hr -- hour two+
53
What could happen if pressure fueling is interrupted?
Aux tank may stop filling prior to top off. Could require manual refueling.
54
Which fuel tank directly fees the engines?
Collector tanks
55
How can you cross-feed fuel between the mains/wings?
