At room temperature, how many times longer will it take water to settle out of JP-8 than out of gasoline?
Four
Jet aircraft operating at moderately high altitudes increase the fuel system’s susceptibility to an icing condition, further aggravated by the?
Higher velocity of jet fuels
During a visual inspection, how can you tell when a fuel filter is clogged?
A differential pressure indicator is actuated
During jet engine deceleration, a hydromechanical fuel control schedules fuel flow as a function of?
Burner pressure
What type of fuel control uses items such as thermocouples, relays, amplifiers, and solenoids to help control a jet engine?
Electrohydromechanical
Which term describes a jet engine metering device that is really two fuel controls in one component?
Unified

Which F100-PW-220 engine fuel system component controls pressurization of the core engine fuel system?
P&D valve
Core engine fuel flow sequence on an F100-PW-220 engine starts at the main fuel pump and then goes up through the?
MFC, fuel/oil cooler, P&D, and fuel nozzles
On the T56 engine, how many and what types of fuel pumps are contained in the fuel pump and filter pump assembly?
2 gear and 1 boost
On a T56 engine, what controls the rotary movement of the fuel control metering valve?
