CHAPTER 12: FUEL SYSTEM

Introduction
The Challenger 604’s fuel system consists of a fuel tank system, a fuel distribution
system, a fuel transfer system, and a refueling/defueling system. A Fuel System
Computer Unit (FSCU) monitors fuel quantity and controls fuel transfer and refueling/
defueling. During normal flight operations fuel management is automatic, requiring no
input from the flight crew.

Fuel Tank System

Description
The fuel system storage consist of three tank systems:
• the main tanks (left and right wings)
• the auxiliary tanks (forward, center and aft tanks)
• the tail tanks (tail cone tank, left and right saddle tanks)

FUEL SYSTEM PILOT TRAINING GUIDE

Components and Operation

Main Tank System

The left and right main tanks are integral-type fuel tanks (wet wings) that supply fuel
to their respective engines via two collector tanks. Flapper valves in the wing ribs
prevent fuel from surging toward the wing tips. The main tanks may be refueled by
pressure or gravity. The APU’s normal fuel supply is from the right main tank.

Collector Tanks
Two collector tanks, situated at the lowest point of the center auxiliary tank, are
considered part of the main tank system.

Auxiliary Tank System

The auxiliary tank system consists of three interconnected tanks: the forward, center,
and aft auxiliary tanks. They are located in the fuselage below the cabin floor. The
auxiliary tanks are filled and drained simultaneously, and may be refueled by pressure
or gravity. The auxiliary tanks feed fuel to the main wing tanks by means of transfer
ejector pumps.

Tail Tank System

The tail tank system consists of three separate tanks (the tail cone tank and two saddle
tanks) which share a common sump/manifold. The tail cone tank is a component of the
fuselage tail cone structure. The saddle tanks are located in the aft equipment bay. All
three tanks are pressure-fueled simultaneously by the refueling system through the
common sump/manifold. The tail tanks may not be gravity refueled.
During normal operations, tail tank fuel is transferred to the auxiliary tank system by
electrically operated tail transfer pumps. This transfer is scheduled and monitored by
the FSCU, which ensures the aircraft is maintained within center-of-gravity limits.
During non-normal operations, the flight crew may control tail transfer pump
operation manually. All the tail tank fuel may be dumped through a dump mast located
at the sump/manifold of the tail tank system.

Water Drains

In order to check fuel tanks for contamination, water drains are provided for every
tank. A drain valve is located at the bottom of the tail cone tank and the tail tank sump
to enable fuel sampling and complete drainage when necessary.

Vent System

Two wing mid-span NACA scoops vent all wing and auxiliary tanks to ensure they
feed freely. The tail tanks are vented through their own dedicated system. All three (3)
tail tanks are vented through a common vent line running down the vertical fin and out
the bottom of the fuselage. Ram air is used to provide a slight positive pressure during
flight.

Manual Vent Relief Valves

Two manual vent relief valves are located underneath the wings near the tips and a
third relief valve is located beneath the center of the auxiliary tank to prevent
overpressurizing the tanks during refueling. A fourth vent relief valve for the tail tank
system is located on the left side of the vertical fin, but cannot be tested manually.

CAUTION
If the tail tank relief valve has opened (popped), it indicates
an overpressure condition in the tail tank system, which
must be corrected before flight.

Fuel Quantity Measurement

The FSCU measures fuel quantity through a network of 17 DC-type capacitance

probes located throughout the main, auxiliary, and tail tank systems. The FSCU
receives attitude information from IRS 1 and IRS 2, and corrects fuel quantity
measurements for aircraft attitude. Fuel tank quantity information is processed by the
data concentrator units (DCUs), and is displayed (in pounds or kilograms) on the
EICAS primary page.

Fuel Distribution

Description
There are two separate fuel distribution systems, the engine fuel feed system and the
APU fuel feed system.

Engine Fuel Feed System

The engine fuel feed system controls the flow of fuel from the main fuel tanks to the
engines.

For Training Purposes Only 12-5

Sept 04
FUEL SYSTEM PILOT TRAINING GUIDE

Fuel Management

Fuel is burned from the main tanks until they reach 93% of their capacity, then fuel
transfer commences from the auxiliary tanks to the main tanks. Float valves in the
main tanks regulate this fuel transfer and maintain the main tanks at 93% capacity
until the auxiliary tank system and tail tank system are depleted.
When airborne, tail tank fuel is transferred forward to the auxiliary tank system at a
constant rate. Tail tank fuel transfer is controlled and monitored by the FSCU.

APU Fuel Feed System

The APU fuel feed system supplies fuel to the APU. This system includes an electric
boost pump located in the right main tank, a negative-G fuel supply from the left
engine's motive flow system, and two shutoff valves (APU fuel SOV and negative-G
SOV). For additional information, see Chapter 5 Auxiliary Power Unit.

Components and Operation

The components of the engine fuel feed system are as follows:

Collector Tanks

Two collector tanks, located at the lowest point of the center auxiliary tank, are
considered part of the main tank system. They receive fuel from their respective main
wing tank via gravity or scavenge ejector pump flow. Fuel from the collector tanks is
supplied to each engine-driven pump unit by main ejector pumps or electric boost
pumps.

Boost Pumps

Two DC electric boost pumps provide the engines with a standby fuel feed system.
They are available for engine starting, and as a backup fuel feed source if either main
ejector pump output pressure is too low to satisfactorily feed its respective engine. The
left boost pump is powered by the DC Battery Bus, and the right boost pump by DC
Bus 2. The boost pumps are located downstream of their respective collector tanks on
the fuel feed lines to the engine-driven pumps. During normal operation, the only pilot
action required is to arm both BOOST PUMP switches on the FUEL control panel
prior to engine start, and disarm them after shutdown.
When both BOOST PUMP switches are armed, the boost pumps are activated if low
pressure is sensed at either left or right main ejector pressure switch (this is the case
prior to engine start). If a single BOOST PUMP switch is armed, both boost pumps
will be activated if low pressure is sensed on the armed side’s main ejector pressure
switch. For example, if only the left BOOST PUMP switch is armed (pressed in), then
both pumps will activate if low pressure is sensed at the left main ejector output. The

12-6 For Training Purposes Only

Sept 04
PILOT TRAINING GUIDE FUEL SYSTEM

boost pumps can provide fuel to both engine’s fuel feed systems through a crossover
feed line.
If a boost pump has been activated, sufficient pump output pressure is indicated by the
green ON legend in the switch/light. Insufficient output pressure is indicated by the
amber INOP legend, and the L(R) FUEL PUMP caution EICAS message.

Engine-Driven Pump

The engine-driven pump supplies high-pressure fuel to the engine Fuel Control Unit
(FCU) for combustion, and to the motive flow system to power the ejector pumps. The
engine-driven pump is located on the engine accessory gearbox, and operates
whenever the engine core (N2) is turning. For additional information, see Chapter 18
Power Plant.

Motive Flow

Motive flow is the continuous movement of fuel under pressure through the fuel feed
lines. Motive flow is generated by the engine-driven pump, and is sufficient to supply
the engine with its fuel intake needs through the on-side main ejector pump. If a
blockage occurs within the feed system, and motive flow fuel pressure drops (sensed
at the main ejector pump pressure switch), the electric boost pumps activate and
supply the engine with sufficient fuel for operation.

Ejector Pump Operation

Ejector pumps operate on the same principle as the venturi tube, and have no moving
parts. The high-pressure stream of fuel at the ejector’s motive flow nozzle induces a
large volume of fuel to flow into the intake of the ejector. The fuel then enters the feed
lines and flows under pressure.

PILOT TRAINING GUIDE FUEL SYSTEM

Main Ejector Pump

There are two main ejector pumps (left and right) located on top of their respective
collector tanks. They receive pressurized fuel from their on-side engine's motive flow
supply, and deliver an uninterrupted fuel supply from the collector tank to the
respective engine. In addition, the main ejector provides the motive flow fuel supply to
the on-side transfer ejector pump. Main ejector motive flow fuel is prevented from
feeding the cross-side engine by a one-way check valve.

Scavenge Ejector Pump

The left and right scavenge ejector pumps are located at the lowest inboard point in
each main (wing) tank. The scavenge ejectors’ motive flow is created by the high-
pressure fuel output of the engine-driven pumps. The scavenge ejectors transfer fuel
from the main tanks to the collector tanks.

Transfer Ejector Pump

The left and right transfer ejector pumps are located at the lowest point of the center
auxiliary tank. Their motive flow supply is derived from their on-side main ejector
pump output. The transfer ejectors continuously transfer fuel to the main tanks,
maintaining them filled to 93% capacity. A float valve located in the forward area of
each main tank prevents this transfer until main tank fuel quantity is at or below 93%
capacity.

Engine Fuel Shutoff Valves

One electrically controlled engine fuel shutoff valve (“firewall” SOV) is installed on
each engine fuel feed line ahead of the engine-driven pump. When activated by
pushing the L (R) ENG FIRE PUSH switch/light on the pilot's or copilot's glareshield,
the SOV will close, stopping the flow of fuel to the engine, and the BOTTLE ARMED
PUSH TO DISCHARGE switch/lights will illuminate. Successful closing of the
engine fuel shutoff valve is indicated by a L (R) ENG SOV CLOSED advisory EICAS
message. If the valve fails to close, a L (R) ENG SOV caution EICAS message is
displayed.
The engine fuel shutoff valves are powered by the DC Emergency Bus. For additional
information, see Chapter 9 Fire Protection.

Fuel Filter

The engine-driven pumps are each equipped with a fuel filter. The filters are mounted
adjacent to the oil tank within the engine nacelle, and are monitored for contamination
by an impending bypass switch. Indications of impending bypass (filter clogged) are
the L (R) FUEL FILTER caution EICAS message, and a magnetic trip indicator, or red
LED, tripped on Junction Box 5 (JB-5) in the aft equipment bay.

For Training Purposes Only 12-9

FUEL SYSTEM PILOT TRAINING GUIDE

Wash Filter

The wash filters are installed along the motive flow fuel feed lines from the engine-
driven pump to the main and scavenge ejector pumps. The wash filter separates ice
crystals which may have formed in the fuel and channels them to the larger main
ejector pump, thus protecting the smaller scavenge ejector pump from possible
clogging. There are no cockpit indications associated with wash filter operation.

Fuel Transfer

Description
During normal operations, fuel transfer from the tail tanks to the auxiliary tanks is
controlled and monitored automatically by the FSCU. After initiating the fuel transfer,
the FSCU monitors the operation to prevent CG excursions beyond acceptable
forward and aft limits.
Transfer of fuel from the tail tanks to the auxiliary tanks may be interrupted
automatically by the FSCU or manually by the flight crew should a malfunction occur.

Components and Operation

Fuel System Computer Unit (FSCU)

The FSCU is a two-channel computer located in the underfloor avionic/electronic bay.

Its main functions are fuel quantity gauging, tail tank to auxiliary tank automatic fuel
transfer, and automatic refueling shutoff. Channel 1 of the FSCU is the primary
controller, and channel 2 automatically replaces channel 1 in the event of failure.
FSCU outputs are used by the data concentrator units (DCUs) for fuel quantity
displays, EICAS messages, and switch/lights in the FUEL control panel.
The FSCU is powered by the APU Battery Direct Bus, DC Essential Bus, DC Battery
Bus, and DC Bus 1.

Tail Tank Transfer Pumps

Two tail tank transfer pumps (primary and secondary) are installed at the sump of the
tail tank system. They transfer fuel from the tail tank system to the auxiliary tank
system at a constant rate of 1800 pounds per hour (900 pounds per hour if SB 604-28-
007 not installed).

Rotor-Burst Protection Shroud

Because the tail tank lines run past the engines, a rotor-burst protection shroud covers
the tail tank fuel line in this area. The shroud is pressurized with nitrogen and
monitored by the FSCU. Should a rotor burst rupture the line, pressure will be lost
from the shroud and tail tank fuel transfer will be inhibited. The AUTO TAIL XFER
INHIB caution EICAS message will be displayed and the amber AUTO INHIB
switch/light will illuminate on the FUEL control panel. Manual override is available to
the flight crew if the shroud is depressurized for non-engine-related reasons, by
pushing the TAIL TANK TRANSFER MANUAL OVRD switch/light on the fuel
control panel.

12-12 For Training Purposes Only

Sept 04
PILOT TRAINING GUIDE FUEL SYSTEM

FSCU Automatic Transfer Operation

The FSCU receives fuel quantity information from four level sensors in the auxiliary
and tail tank systems. The FSCU uses this information to control tail tank fuel transfer
by starting and stopping the primary or secondary tail tank transfer pumps in
accordance with a fixed schedule. The FSCU shuts off the tail tank transfer pumps
when the tail tank system is empty or when the auxiliary tank system is full.
An amber AUTO INHIB light on the FUEL control panel illuminates to indicate that
rotor-burst protection shroud pressure is low, and all automatic fuel transfer modes are
disabled. This is accompanied by the AUTO TAIL XFER INHIB caution EICAS
message.
Normal operation of the automatic tail tank transfer pumps will not illuminate the
switch/lights on the FUEL control panel. If the primary or secondary tail transfer
pump fails during automatic operation, the FSCU switches to the other pump and
displays the PRI (SEC) TAIL XFER FAIL status EICAS message.

FSCU Manual Transfer Operation

The FSCU alerts the crew of tail tank fuel transfer abnormalities by EICAS messages.
The FUEL control panel allows the crew to override the FSCU automatic fuel transfer
system.
The TAIL TANK HEAVY caution EICAS message alerts the crew of excessive tail
tank fuel weight (relative to the auxiliary tanks). By pressing the guarded MANUAL
OVRD switch/light, the crew can manually transfer the tail tank fuel by selecting the
guarded PRI (SEC) TAIL TANK TRANSFER pump switch/light. The white ON
indicator illuminates within the switch/light to indicate satisfactory pump output
pressure. If pump output pressure is low, or the pump has failed, the amber INOP
indicator illuminates within the switch/light and the PRI (SEC) TAIL XFER PUMP
caution EICAS message is displayed. If the transfer is unsuccessful, the crew can
utilize the tail tank fuel DUMP system to reduce the fuel quantity in the tail tank.
Similarly, the AUX TANK HEAVY caution EICAS message indicates excessive
auxiliary tank fuel weight (relative to the tail tank system). Selecting only the
MANUAL OVRD switch/light will override FSCU automatic transfer functions,
stopping fuel transfer between the tail and auxiliary tanks, thereby allowing the
auxiliary tanks to deplete to normal levels.

NOTE
When operating in manual override, the selected (PRI or SEC)
fuel pump will not automatically shut off when the tail tank is
empty. The flight crew must monitor manual transfer operations
and turn off the selected pump when the tail tank is empty.

Fuel Dumping

If attempts to transfer fuel from the tail tank to auxiliary tank fail, the tail tank fuel can
be dumped. Fuel dumping must be carried out with the flaps at 0°.
A guarded DUMP switch/light, powered by the DC Battery Bus, is located on the
FUEL control panel. Once pressed in, the dump valve is commanded open, and the
white OPEN indicator illuminates on the switch/light. Fuel is dumped at a rate of
approximately 100-120 lb/min (45-55 kg/min). Five minutes after the dump valve is
selected OPEN, the TAIL DUMP SOV caution EICAS message is displayed to remind
the flight crew that the dump valve is open.
If the dump valve is not in the position commanded by the switch/light, the amber
FAIL indicator will illuminate and the TAIL DUMP SOV caution EICAS message
will be displayed.

An electric switch interlock inhibits simultaneous opening of both
L TO AUX and R TO AUX valves.

GRAVITY XFLOW Switch/Light

Pushing the GRAVITY XFLOW switch/light opens the gravity crossflow valve,
allowing fuel to flow freely between the main tanks and to balance evenly. Flying in a
slight sideslip with the heavy wing up can accelerate the balancing process. When the
GRAVITY XFLOW switch/light is selected, the OPEN indicator illuminates to
indicate gravity crossflow valve operation. There are no EICAS messages associated
with gravity crossflow valve operation. The flight crew must monitor main tank fuel
quantity indications to determine when the imbalance has been corrected.
An L (R) TO AUX crossflow switch/light should not be selected in combination with
the GRAVITY XFLOW switch/light.

NOTE
GRAVITY XFLOW valve operation on the ground should be
closely monitored since fuel will flow from the higher wing to the
lower wing without any EICAS messages to indicate when the
imbalance has been corrected.

Refueling/Defueling System

Description
A single-point refuel/defuel adapter is located in the right wing root area. The FUEL/
DEFUEL control panel is situated above the adapter on the side of the fuselage. The
FUEL/DEFUEL panel is used to test the integrity of the components of the fuel
system, and to select the individual fuel tanks for refueling and defueling.
An optional refuel/defuel panel is installed on the flight deck behind the copilot seat.
This panel has priority over the external panel, and displays individual fuel tank
quantity information and valve status.
Both internal and external FUEL /DEFUEL panels are normally powered by the APU
BATT DIR BUS.
To prevent overfilling the tanks, each tank system is equipped with high level sensors.
The high level sensor closes the associated shutoff valve(s) when the respective tank is
filled to capacity. The tank vent system ensures overfill protection during refueling.
Manual vent relief valves augment the normal vent system to prevent main and
auxiliary tank overpressure during refueling.

NOTE
Maximum usable fuel capacities are attainable through pressure
refueling only.

Components and Operation

FUEL/DEFUEL Panel

The FUEL/DEFUEL panel has controls for testing the systems’ functionality and to
initiate or terminate selective tank fueling or defueling. Maximum pressure during
refueling is 50 psi and maximum defueling pressure is negative 8 psi. The maximum
fuel imbalance for structural integrity is 2500 lb between the two main tanks.
To ensure FUEL / DEFUEL panel power has been turned off, a power kill switch
disconnects the panel from the APU battery direct bus when the panel is stowed and
the door closed.

FUEL/DEFUEL Panel Operation Test

To complete the test:

• fuel adapter and pressure must be available from the tender (Max 50 psi)
• place POWER switch to the FUEL position
• select all SOV switches to the OPEN position (All five white SOV OPEN lights
illuminate)
• push and hold the SHUTOFF TEST switch (To check automatic fueling shutoff
feature),
• Verify that:
• all four white HIGH-LEVEL SENSOR lights illuminate
• all five white SOV OPEN lights extinguish, and
• all five green SOV CLOSED lights illuminate
• release the SHUTOFF TEST button to verify that all the above lights revert to their
status prior to test start, and
• start refueling

NOTE
The functional test of the refueling system must be conducted
prior to each refueling/defueling. During the test, the high-level
sensors generate a false high-level signal to the FSCU, which
then closes the refuel shutoff valves.

Pressure Refueling

For partial fuel loads it is recommended to fill the main tanks completely first, then the
auxiliary and tail tanks as required. For safety reasons and to maintain proper C of G,
the FSCU will prevent refueling of the auxiliary tank without the tail tank being
selected. The auxiliary and tail tanks must always be selected together and the refuel
SOVs must be confirmed open to ensure proper filling of the auxiliary and tail tanks.
To open the shutoff valve (SOV) for the respective tank, toggle the appropriate SOV
switch to OPEN. When the tank is full, the respective HIGH-LEVEL SENSOR light
and SOV CLOSED light will illuminate to indicate the SOV has closed automatically.
Should this fail, as evidenced by fuel dumping overboard from the vent system, toggle
the switch down to manually close the SOV.
In order to achieve maximum fuel quantity in the auxiliary tank, pressure must be kept
constant at the FUEL/DEFUEL ADAPTER. If an interruption of 30 seconds or more
during refueling occurs, the FSCU will close the TAIL SOVs and the AUX SOV,
preventing fuel from going to these tanks. If this occurs, the FSCU may be overridden
by holding the OVERRIDE button on the FUEL/DEFUEL panel, or, the POWER
switch may be cycled OFF then to FUEL. The affected TAIL and AUX SOV(s) will
reopen, allowing more fuel into the tanks unless the HIGH LEVEL SENSOR light of
the affected tank has been triggered.
If a long interruption occurs during refueling, and depending on how much fuel there
is in the auxiliary tank at this stage, the forward and aft auxiliary tanks will not be
further pressurized by the ejectors and their vent valves will open. Their level will
drop and equalize with the center auxiliary tank. This will cause the level in the center
auxiliary tank to rise, and if the level is high enough, it may trigger the auxiliary tank
HIGH LEVEL SENSOR. If this is the case, the FSCU will not allow the AUX SOV to
reopen, and only gravity refueling will be possible to fill the remaining volume of the
auxiliary tanks.

Auxiliary Tank Quantity Indication

Since the auxiliary tank fuel quantity indication is generated using the center and
forward auxiliary tank capacitance probes, the cockpit reading for the auxiliary tank
during refueling does not immediately reflect actual auxiliary tank contents. Actual
tank contents will only indicate after the three tank levels have equalized
(approximately one to eight minutes later).

Override Button

The override button allows fueling/defueling of the auxiliary or tail tanks individually,
provided the high-level sensor has not been triggered in the selected tank system. The
override button must be held for the duration of individual auxiliary or tail tank
fueling/defueling.

Overwing Gravity Refueling

Gravity refueling will average 7% less volume than pressure refueling in the main and
auxiliary tank systems since the main and auxiliary overwing filler points are below
the highest point of the respective tank. Overwing filler caps are installed on each
wing. The auxiliary tank gravity refueling panel and cap are situated on the right wing
root. The tail tank cannot be gravity refueled.

NOTE
During overwing gravity refueling, the pilots must ensure the
aircraft is within center-of-gravity limits.

For Training Purposes Only 12-27

May 03
FUEL SYSTEM PILOT TRAINING GUIDE

CAUTION
Do not open the overwing fueling caps unless the fuel
quantity in the main tanks is below 93% capacity.

Pressure Defueling

• select DEFUEL on the POWER switch

• ensure that the SOV switches of only those tanks that are to be defueled are in the
OPEN position and the remaining SOV switches are in the CLOSED position
• apply suction from the fuel truck (max –8 psi) at the fuel/defuel adapter
When the auxiliary tank or either main tanks are fully defueled, their respective SOV
CLOSED (green) light will illuminate and the associated (white) SOV OPEN light
will extinguish.
When defueling is completed, move the applicable tank SOV switches to CLOSE.

NOTE
If defueling pressure is applied and the POWER FUEL/DEFUEL
switch is inadvertently selected OFF, fuel will be drawn from the
main and auxiliary tanks only. Any fuel in the tail tank system will
remain trapped, possibly creating a tail-heavy condition.

Gravity Defueling

The main and auxiliary tanks can be gravity defueled through a tank drain valve which
has an integral check valve. The tail cone tank may be drained through the DC motor
operated dump valve.
The tank drain valves are installed on the lowest access cover of each tank, and sealed
from the outside with a screwed-in cover plug. A special adapter is required to operate
the check valve for gravity defueling operations.

Fuel Quantity Indicators

Fuel quantity is displayed in the lower left corner of the EICAS primary page. The
sum of all tanks is displayed next to the word TOTAL. The next line indicates,
respectively, left main, center auxiliary and right main fuel quantity. The tail tank
readout is on the last line. Fuel quantity and fuel flow are normally displayed in LB
(pounds) but can also be configured in KG (kilogram) at the Completion Center.
Fuel quantity data can also be read on the optional interior refuel panel (behind the
copilot seat).

NOTE
Total fuel quantity data must be entered in the FMS (PERF INIT
page) prior to flight.

Bulk Fuel Temperature Indication

Temperature is monitored by a probe in the left main tank and displayed on the EICAS
status page. Numerals are green at temperatures above -37°C. At or below -37°C, the
numerals are amber and an associated BULK FUEL TEMP caution EICAS message
will be displayed.

Engine Fuel Temperature Indications

Temperatures are sensed by a probe located on the top of each engine’s fuel filter
housing. Numerals are green above 5°C and amber if below 5°C. An associated L/R
FUEL LO TEMP caution EICAS message will be displayed.

Fuel Flow Indications

Fuel flow indications are displayed for each engine immediately below the N2 arcs on
the primary EICAS page. The normally green fuel flow indication will turn amber and
display dashed lines if fuel flow exceeds 5000 pph, (2,273 kg/hr) or if the input value
is invalid. Fuel flow can also be viewed through FMS page selection.
