Are there any differences between Fuel Tanks of different Aircraft Models, except Fuel Capacity?
Wednesday, March 18, 2009 20:40Am jst curious to know whether are there any differences between the Fuel Tanks of different Aircraft Models other than the fuel capacity of the tanks.
Is there any change in the naming convenetions of the Fuel Tanks in different Models? For Ex. Tank 1, Tank 2, Tank 3, Center Aux Tank, Tail Tank … etc.
The details am interested in are…
Can I have uniform fuel loading computation that can be used irrespective of the models. For Ex. First, Load Fuel equally into Tank1, Tank 2, Tank 3 till Tank 1 & Tank3 is filled to max capacity.
Then, Load Tank 2 till it is filled to its maximum capacity.
Still, if U have remaining fuel to be loaded… load into the Center Aux and Tail Tank as per the GFS Ratio.
And fuel can be loaded to optional fuel tanks only in case the standard fuel tanks are filled?!
Kindly validate the above OR provide some reference to get information on theabove.

Yes, there are differences. Some tanks are integral to the wing, others are a bladder design, others still are external and under slung to the wing. Naming conventions depend upon the manufacturer, but not difficult to discern regarding type and location.
