Exercise 3- Think ahead

In the following slide, you're going to watch a short video about the fuel system. 

Gather information for the exercise 3 mind map to discuss questions.

Think Ahead - Fuel system

Exercise 3 - Answers 

1. The purpose of the fuel system is to provide a mixture of fuel and air to the engine of the car. The air-fuel mixture must be in proportion to the speed and load placed on the engine.

2. Carburetor heat is intended to keep the fuel / air mixture above the freezing temperature in order to prevent the formation of ice in the carburetor. Carburetor heat can be used to melt ice already formed in the carburetor.

A plane can also fly faster to prevent the fuel from freezing. The faster that the airplane goes, the more friction there is as the air flows over the wing. This heats up the air close to the wing and makes it take longer for the fuel to freeze.

Exercise 3 - Answers 

3. The venting system also helps to prevent fuel evaporation. As the aircraft climbs, the reduction in pressure decreases the boiling point of fuel. This evaporates fuel. The duct in the picture allows ram air to enter the fuel vent system, which pressurizes the fuel tanks and avert the evaporation of fuel.

4. For the aircraft pitch and roll attitudes the fuel computer works out a plain of where the fuel is (slightly different on different manufacturers). Additionally, to that you have a density and permittivity readers in the tank to then calculate the fuel quantity (either kg or lbs)

The Fuel system - Listening 

Watch the two videos on YouTube about  the fuel system, called:

1. How does the airbus FUEL SYSTEM works.
   
2. Dangers of freezing fuel explained by captain Joe.
   

Answer the questions while watching the video

You can also read all the questions at exercise 4

2. Does the scheme of the wing tanks show the amount of fuel and the temperature of all the different tanks?

3. What do the numbers underneath the numbers 1 and 2 at the top of the page show?

4. Why does the plane first use the fuel from the center tanks instead of the outer tanks?

5. Do the fuel pumps provide fuel to both engines from each wing tank at the same time?

6. Why is the fuel in the center tank not available if the fuel pumps don't work?

7. How do they make sure the oil and fuel stay at the correct temperature, and they don't freeze or overheat?

Exercise 6 (homework hand-in) 

We have listened to information about the fuel system.

Now, you are going to write instructions for new interns on how to refuel the plane

• Go to exercise 6 (on p.69)
• Write instructions underneath each picture
  
• Pay attention to the capital letters, present simple and present continuous
  

Writing tips

Step 1: Determine what fuel grade is required for your aircraft.

Step 2: Determine how much fuel is required.

Step 3: Connect the ground wire to the aircraft

Step 4: For high wing aircraft, put a ladder in front of the fuel cap on the furthest fuel tank.

Step 5: Drag out the fuel hose, for as far as you need it.

Step 6: Remove the fuel cap. On larger aircraft, you must fill up the wings first, simply for the balance of the plane. While fuelling, make sure all selected valves are correctly opened. If they are not, check with the pilot or contact maintenance.

Step 7: You must fill up the wing tanks before fuelling the center tank.

Step 8: After fuelling, reinstall fuel cap and close the panel correctly.

Step 9: Wind up fuel hose. Wind up ground wire. Double check fuel caps are tight.
