7. Fueling Quantity Indicators
A. Fueling quantity indicators, located on the fueling control panel, show the weight of fuel in the fuel tanks (Fig. 1). The fueling quantity indicators function as repeaters of the fuel quantity indicators located in the control cabin and aid the ground crew in fueling or defueling operations. The fueling quantity indicators are interchangeable with the fuel quantity indicators. The fueling quantity indicators are operative only when the fueling station door is open. When the door is closed, a proximity switch (Fig. 2) interrupts power to the fueling quantity indicators.
8. Trimmers
A. Capacitance trimmers (Fig. 1), located on the forward left side of the control stand above the hand mike jack, can be adjusted to standardize the total tank capacitance for the indicator. This adjustment allows for replacement of precalibrated indicators without recalibrating the indicator gage.
9. Measuring Sticks
A. The measuring sticks are used to measure the fuel quantity in tanks No. 1 and 2 by mechanical means (Fig. 1). Each main tank has five measuring sticks, calibrated in inches, located in wing fuel tank access panels No. 1, 4, 6, 8, and 10. The measuring stick unit of calibration is marked on each stick approximately one inch from end of stick.
B. The measuring stick reading and the applicable measuring stick conversion document (D6-32037, inches to U.S. gallons; or D6-32616, inches to kilograms; or D6-32628, inches to Imperial gallons) assist the ground crew in fueling operations when electrical power for fuel quantity indicators is not available. The measuring sticks are also used to verify fuel quantity indicator operation by comparing the fuel weight indicated by the indicators to the reading obtained by measuring sticks.
10. Operation (Airplanes with digital indicators)
A. The fuel quantity indicating system operates on 115-volt ac power obtained from the standby bus or external power bus.
B. The tank units function as variable capacitors, their capacitance value being determined by fuel level in the tank. The phased measurement of the current through the tank units is performed by the microcomputer system in the indicator. It measures the magnitude of the capacitance current independent of the resistive current due to leakage. The microcomputer monitors the leakage current and when it reaches a magnitude effecting indicator accuracy, an error code is displayed.
